![]() ![]() | Critoen, Outlander, 4007 rear and interior similarities!! The back AND INTERIOR looks exactly identical. I know that Critoen is under Peugeot so I can understand the similarities but they took the rear design from the Mitsubishi Outlander outlander ![]() ![]() Peugeot 4007 ![]() ![]() Citreon c-crosser ![]() ![]() I'm a bit confused between the relationship of Mitsubishi and Peugeot. Anyone got a clue? |

Mitsubishi is responsible for the exterior and interior side of the engineering, so all 3 cars look similar and have an identical interior. |

Unless I'm mistaken, all the cars are built by Mitsubishi in Japan, with PSA engines going into the two "French" cars and VW diesels into the Mitsu version. ![]() |

![]() | Re: Critoen, Outlander, 4007 rear and interior similarities!! ^ You know, it really is astounding to me that all these people got together -- an exemplar of global industrial cooperation, lots of long video conferences, thousands of man hours spent on two continents, and a big carbon footprint from all the crossing back and forth over half the world on the company BBJ. All the excitement. All the enthusiasm ...and THIS! is the result -- one has to wonder why they bothered. |

Maybe they just want to speed up the development process, Pegeout and Critoen probably didn't have a development program for a mid sized SUV, and they are desperate for one, so they created this last min job. Renault is better, their new mid size SUV, the Koleos uses Nissan X-trail mechanicals, but it has different exterior and interior styling. |
