Paris Auto Show 2000
Paris, France
September 30 - October 15, 2000

• Citroen C5

The Citroën C5 is the latest illustration of the brand's renewed vitality, expressed notably by the Xsara Picasso, the C3 and C6 concept cars and the Pluriel demonstrator vehicle. Reflecting the same strategy, the C5 features innovations in styling, architecture, living space and technological content. 

• Citroen Pluriel

The Pluriel is a new concept unveiled by Citroën at the 1999 Frankfurt Motor Show. This research prototype, which follows the C3 et C6 Lignage concept cars, illustrates the broad styling principles of a modular car that will take its place in the Citroën range at some point in the future.

Mercedes- Benz

• Mercedes C-Class Sports Coupe

Visually distinctive and noticeably smaller than both the C-Class sedan and the highly successful Mercedes-Benz CLK coupe line, the C-Class sports coupe will make its first public appearance at the upcoming Paris Auto Show on September 28th. 

• Ferrari 550 Pininfarina Barchetta

The 550 Barchetta Pininfarina has a traditional barchetta-style cut to the windscreen with a body-coloured finish to the lower section of the surround. 

• Fiat Doblò

Fiat Doblò. A youthful, original name that oozes fun and likeability. Like the vehicle itself, which is unique of its kind.

• Mondeo

"The all-new Ford Mondeo was developed in a record time of just 24 months. For the first time, we have used absolutely state-of-the-art engineering resources to achieve new levels of precision and quality throughout the vehicle, including its significant new powertrains, class-leading safety systems and a completely new interior. We’ve paid attention to the minute details..."

Paul Mascarenas, Chief Programme Engineer (Ford)

• Civic

Rather than simply meet expectations for the seventh generation of the Civic, Honda decided from the outset that it would raise the stakes with an all-new design -a Civic for the 21st Century.

• X-Trail Concept

The new Nissan X-TRAIL concept car makes its world debut at the Paris Motor Show 2000. It signals a clear indication of Nissan’s intention to produce a sophisticated new compact 4x4

• Corsa

The third generation of the most popular small car in the world enters the European market this fall. The all-new Opel Corsa is more grown-up and more spacious, but is still recognizable as the successor of its best-selling predecessor.
