STUD or DUD: Is Citroen's Take On The Large Sedan Besting The 7, S, LS, A8, XJ, Panamera?

If there is one culture that oozes style, it is the French.

For years, the French have been at the forefront of the hippest design and trends, yet we never get to appreciate them in the automotive world because we are essentially getting gypped in the States.

Now, Citroen has put out the Metropolis. A hybrid, all-wheel drive and 450-horsepower behemoth. What is there not to like?

We want to know what you think, though. Is this car killing it in terms of design?

Should Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche take lessons from these guys?

Let us know in the comments below...

Carscoop reports:

These are the first 'real life' pictures of Citroën's latest concept car, the Metropolis, that gives certain German makers (see Porsche and BMW) a lesson or two on how to design an eye-candy luxury sports saloon.

The styling of the 5.3m long and 2m wide but only 1.4m high Metropolis has echoes of the French automaker's well received GT supercar concept of 2008. This one was developed by Citröen's Shanghai-based design team.
