Citroën Saxo
Motor vehicle / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Citroën Saxo was a supermini produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1996 to 2003. It was sold in Japan as the Citroën Chanson, because Honda had registered the "Saxo" name.[2] The Saxo was a badge engineered variant of the Peugeot 106 (which itself was a development of the Citroën AX), the major difference being interiors and body panels. Production ended in 2003, when it was replaced with the Citroën C2 and Citroën C3 which launched a year earlier.
