Editor-in-chief Steve Fowler thinks Citroen has been shower other car brands how to stand out for decades<\/h2>\n

Character: it\u2019s a difficult thing to define and an even more difficult thing to put into a car. Many have tried \u2013 sometimes to pretty dismal effect \u2013 but Citroen has been showing others how it\u2019s done for decades. The latest C3 arrives with a hint of the quirkiness we first saw in the wonderful Oli concept.<\/p>\n

Right across the car market, having a point of difference is becoming increasingly hard. And it often surprises me how little manufacturers know about what competitors are doing. Our \u2018helicopter view\u2019 of the whole industry helps, but we\u2019re often shown a fancy new feature by one manufacturer who clearly doesn\u2019t know that their main rival has already shown us something very similar!<\/p>\n
