Citroen's new C1 will be launched in Ireland on November 1 to give it some visibility before the January 2006 buying season.
And, according to Citroen Ireland's Ruth Baily, the new flagship C6 big car will arrive in Ireland in February.
"We hope we'll sell between 60 and 100 in a year, and from Citroen's point of view it is important to have such a stylish car in the range. It is very elegant in a nice understated way."
Speaking at the Frankfurt Motor Show, she said she expects the C1 -- jointly produced with Peugeot and Toyota -- to be especially popular as a second car. Trish Whelan & Brian Byrne.
