To prove this, Citroen have mounted their display cars at jaunty angles - to prove, we presume, that the C3 Picasso is capable of going up and down hills - and surrounded them with glamorous model-types. It's a tough life.

Mechanical details are all as expected - a couple of petrols and a couple of diesels, with the 110bhp HDi likely to be the pick of the bunch - and Citroen tells us we'll definitely see the C3 Picasso in the UK by the middle of next year.

Whether it'll get those excellent wheels remains to be seen. We hope so.
