Citroën C1 Connexion created from Facebook app now available

I stumbled upon this interesting story about a Citroën car designed by members of the public via a social networking site. Citroën C1 Connexion special edition, devised from an app which was created in collaboration with Facebook, has now been revealed. According to their latest press release, Citroën says "The C1 Connexion is the first production car in the UK created from an app which was created in collaboration with Facebook." Thousands of configurations were submitted through Citroën’s Facebook Page and the best one was chosen to come to life. Even the name badge featuring on the car was designed by a Citroën Facebook fan. You can buy the C1 Connexion now with 3 or 5 doors, priced at £9,495 and £9,845. Judging from the photos, it makes me wish I had seen this amazing app when it was available so I could have submitted my fancy yet practical ideas. Oh well, maybe next time. You can find out more by visiting Citroën's website here or see below for details per the official press release.
