Today's car of the day is Norev's 2008 Citroën C-Crosser.

The Citroën C-Crosser is a compact crossover SUV, that went on sale in the summer of 2007 designed for the French manufacturer Citroën, and produced by Mitsubishi Motors on the basis of the new Outlander. The equivalent Peugeot badge-engineered version will be the 4007. It was expected that the car would be named the C7, but it has been announced that it will now be called the C-Crosser. The C-Crosser has taken its name from the four-wheel drive concept car that Citroën first displayed in the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Together the 4007 and C-Crosser are the first Japanese-produced cars sold under any French brand. Since 2009 they have been assembled, for Europe, in the factory that was built in the 1960s to assemble DAFs, now Mitsubishi's Nedcar plant in Born, the Netherlands.

Just what we've come to expect from Norev- a high quality replica with plenty of detail!

Occupants benefit from the easily reconfigured second and third row of seats, which can be folded away quickly and effortlessly to provide a flat floor and vast load space. The rear two seats can be completely hidden away under the floor, while the second row of seating, slides to offer greater leg room or boot space, features a 60:40 split/fold function that is operated via electric controls in the boot. This allows for the car to be used for both sporting and also for transporting groups of up to 7 people, including the driver.

This is similar to the seating arrangement in the new Citroën C4 Picasso which also offers the capability of seating 7 persons.

It's interesting how it really is an Outlander labeled as a Citroen.

Very nice details on this one, the rims are very different for "North American" tastes.

My first look said "Outlander" then I read the blurbs...so it really is an Outlander rebadged as a Citroen. And here I thought badge engineering was only an American specialty. Still, it looks good.

An American specialty, maybe...

...but a British pastmastership- witness BMC back in the '60s, spreading the Farina saloon body and engines over five or six different nameplates, and doing the same with the FWD 11/1300s. Morris, Austin, MG, Wolseley, Riley, Vanden Plas, it was all the SAME car.

Still, it's hard for me to imagine that the hardcore French buyer can feel good about his new Citroen being a rebadged anything.
