Seen close to my office in Beijing, a Dongfeng-Citroën c-Elysée with a Jaguar statue on la bonnet. The Citroën c-Elysée is based on the Dongfeng-Citroën Fukang which is based on the Citroën ZX. The Fukang and c-Elysée are both still in production in China, they come though, without the Jag.

It also has ‘Xsara’ written on the back. That is another Citroën. The Xsara was the sucessor of the ZX in Europe. The Xsara was made in China too, by Dongfeng-Citroën, alongside the Fukang and c-Elysée. The Xsara however never became a success in China and production stopped. The good old Fukang and c-Elysée so outlived their sucessor.

Dongfeng-Citroën Xsara. The official name of the joint venture is Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile, they make Peugeots as well.
