So not as cheap as the Dacia Logan (7 600 euros), and much smaller, more city-orientated. Furthermore, these cars are not built in France, but in Kolin, Czech Republic. Both Dacia and C1-107-Aygo are reliable cars according to durabilty tests and the press, Dacia using long proven Renault parts and few completely new electronic devices, the triplets taking advantage of Toyota's top quality production system. => Borat : the Citroën-Peugeot-Toyota trio starts with the C1 at 8 450 euros on the French market – cheaper than its two twins for it does not come standard with a power-assisted direction in its first trim.

If they do, with new cars hopefully. A Yugo return sounds like a nightmare. I bet they’ll just bring Zastava in, but those cars are so ugly and aged. If they do, with new cars hopefully.

And they are probably will be more reliable then Dacia cum Renault. Those are build in France (sort of like NUMMI of Europe). Although all 3 produced in the same factory of the same components by same workers, Citroen is the cheapest of the trio( go figure?). Speaking of FIAT 500, It is neither FIAT (made in Poland and T in FIAT stands for Turin) nor 500, but drives great and should as expensive as Dacia.

They were discussing some collaborations, if I remember correctly, and now we know that the bastard love-child will be the FiaTata PandaNano 500, now on sale at an Alfa dealer near you .... and next to the Kebap house. Fiat + Tata = FiaTata.
