The [luxury sedan design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-mercedesbenz-sclass) is set to be unveiled at the Auto Shanghai 2010 show later this month, but Citroen has leaked images of the car to whet our appetites. In nearly any light and time of day, the 460-horsepower hybrid Citroen Metropolis concept is a stunner. An aggressive-looking front end and minimalist rear are dotted with LED lights that remind me of the [Audi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vision-gt) R8.
