The next Fiat Stilo...

The next Fiat Stilo needs to be built at the "speed of light", say bosses. That"s because they want to replace the current model earlier than planned due to poor sales. The firm was forced to look outside Italy for a company that could get the job done quickly enough, and chose Magna Steyr, the Austrian outfit responsible for Chrysler"s 300C.

Citroen had spectators...

Citroen had spectators falling over each other to look at the glamorous but green line-up on its motorshow stand - and this year it arrived with no less than five new UK show debuts!

The star on centre stage was undoubtedly the award-winning ecologically designed C-Cactus concept car. Looking ultra-futuristic with its dazzling white plastic body, the bold design had spectators drooling at the space-age interior.

Citroen says the car is designed to be minimalist, and it"s not joking ò€“ itò€™s got no windows and no dashboard!

But stripping out the car means it weighs in at a feather light 900kg, and combined with its hybrid powertrain, the car produces just 79g/km of Co2!

Stealing some of the limelight was a jazzed-up show-version of Citroen"s first 4x4, the C-Crosser. Painted in a marine green with surfer graphics along the side, the car was hard to miss. And when you add to that the 1.2 million part lighting system, the 15-inch TV and Nintendo Wii in the back, it was irresistible to showgoers!

Another UK show first was an off-road styled version of the Berlingo Multispace small MPV. Called the XTR, the car looks ready to tackle anything with its raised ride, plastic kick plates and SUV-style roof rails.The

French maker was also busy stamping out its green credentials by featuring a selection of cars from its ò€˜LCV Airdreamò€™ green brand - all of which produce less than 120g/km of CO2.

Other first-to-be-seens at a UK show were the new Citroen C5 Tourer and C5 saloon, and a facelifted version of the new look C2 supermini.
