The Franco-Japanese collaboration between Toyota and the PSA Peugeot Citroen group is moving on to the next phase of their partnership with the development of the successors to the first generation of the Citroen C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo city cars, which have been on the European market since 2005.

We’ve already snagged a heavily camouflaged prototype of the next Toyota Aygo testing on the road, and now our spies caught up with Citroen’s engineers in the new C1 in Southern Europe.

From the window and door lines, it looks like the models (evidently, all three) will continue to share common body components, along, of course, with the platform and engine lineup, with most design changes likely to occur on the body trim and the front and rear ends.

Expect a late 2014 introduction for all three versions of the city car.
