Would the saxo designers be pleased to see such following? i.e SAXP SSC
...or would they be pissed off that a group of people feel that it needed changing from the original spec? i.e SAXP SSC and Cloud.

discuss

(ps sorry if already asked :oops)

i think theyd (saxo designers, citroen bosses, etc) would be glad to see we take such pride etc in our cars even though "its only a saxo"

im confused Ads

GrantW · 9th November 2006, 17:23

id say theyre pleased that its got a cult following, it shows their car is popular and well loved if someone takes the time to build a website and people sign up to it

saxodan · 9th November 2006, 17:24

I bet someone for citreon scans these forums, see how people mod their cars and take note when building new models, i.e the c2

EDIT+ r&d research and development thats the word (s)

Viper · 9th November 2006, 17:25

i think they would appreciate that we all have them..

i doubt it would realy bother them with what people such as danny, leckie, matt etc are doing.. but maybe with all the people who have put massively hideous kits on.. lol

Robbo · 9th November 2006, 17:25

just makes you wish that the big bosses would look at this forum, and see all the saxo's around then think "LETS BRING BACK THE SAXO, the amount we sold has made us loads of money so why did we have to stop!!!"

Mitchell · 9th November 2006, 17:26

i think seeing the standard cars turned into all these on here will only inspire them to make something much better.

but they would obviously f*ck it up and make that something look like a C2.

I agree, they know they made a nice car.

Mitchell · 9th November 2006, 17:31

a dont think citroen even made much money with the saxo.

only young people bought them, and most were bought second hand.

older women and men, aswell as young people drive corsas.

I reckon to design something that; other than the fact is french, is good looking, quick, fun to drive and REASONABLY reliable is always something good to look back on.

The fact that the Saxo became the Nova of the late 90's might taint the image a bit, but I don't think it does. Look at the amount of companies that have brought out after-market parts for the Saxo. Now, either they'd look at that and think 'Were our parts not good enough then!?' or they'd be flattered that people are basing THEIR car on a product.

The Saxo modding scene has, imo, gone full circle. Just look at the amount of people that crave the refined standard look nowadays. Standard yet subtle. Sure, people still put a Skyline cone filter on with a 6" can but hey! They're doing what THEY want to do cos it's THEIR car! I can respect that. The Saxo has sparked many a creative thought from me and other enthusiasts; what do you think Mr. Saxo designer would say to Willsy's customs indicators! He'd think 'SHIT I WISH I THOUGHT OF THAT'

Excuse the verbal diahorrea, but fundamentally I don't think they'd be pissed, they'd be happy their design is timeless.

I think they wouldn't even be looking in the first place. Boy racers (lets face it, you mod a car you are steriotyped) don't buy saxo's (or other) brandnew to mod, they buy them later down the line, so the citreon have already sold the car and thats all they care about.

James · 9th November 2006, 17:41

They won't be able to release a car what even resembles the saxo in future.. health and safety blah blah..If you notice on most new cars the bonnets are really high up etc.. Really gutting but life goes on.

I'd like to think they would do something like clio did with the V8... now that would rock my socks.. even knowing i couldent own one the envy would be immense.

Leo · 9th November 2006, 17:50

Another thing, they will probley HATE the fact saxos have been modded up etc, as it gives the boyracer image thus making insurance more thus probley making a massive drop in sales....

CampDavid · 9th November 2006, 17:51

They went to cruises to research the C2, which is probably part of the reason its a bit pap, so yes, they probably do like us. a bit

They probally went to cruises to find out what we don't like david lol, just so we don't start a new cult

Craig · 9th November 2006, 17:55

nah,n they were all after making it for the boy racer, 17s as standard, padel shift, Mynistry of sound special edition. If they'd asked me I'd have said the same, better built, more oversteer and work on the insurance companies, please

R4T · 9th November 2006, 17:59

they should be proud until they saw 1 crashed recalled every1 and included sum safety!
