In this week's roundup of automotive gossip, Citroen tell us about the future of the MPV and Ford reveal what they've got on the way. But first, Rolls-Royce reveal that their EV plans won't affect one of their most distinctive styling features.
EV plans won't get rid of the Rolls-Royce grille
Think of Rolls-Royce and you think of that grille, no doubt. Which prompts the question: will the luxury marque’s debut EV need such a big mouth? CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös implied it’s not a tradition that will die easily. “Watch this space,” he said, chuckling. “I don’t want to give anything away, but one thing I can tell you is that it will be a proper, proper Rolls-Royce. It deserves the nameplate, it will be peerless and our clients will love it. First of all, we are building a Rolls-Royce, and secondly it’s electric – not the other way around.”

Agreed, MPVs are much better family cars
Most MPVs sold in europe have been compact models like Renault Senics which have two rows of seats and regular doors. These have effectively merged into crossover SUVs anyway.
This was predicted about 20 years ago that as society ages they will want more taller cars and pedestrian impact legislation makes a low bonnet hard anyway.
