Citroën C5 2008 Geneva Motor Show
Meet the new Citroën C5, the French manufacturers answer to an elegant large family saloon.
Citroen says the new C5 will give the German cars which dominate the segment a wake-up call by mending French design with an vast array of technologies and a strong personality.
Now meet the C5 break, the Estate car.
We actually think it looks quite good. Looking forward to driving in Australia.

I think there was no Citroen presence in Melbourne at all!
Sometimes I wonder at their capacity to market anything intellgently.
Person S
The majority of people that buy Citroens are fans of the brand.
Same for say SAAB and Lancia and a whole bunch of others.
I repeat again, i WILL ONLY BUY A BRAND THAT HAS FACTORY RUN OPERATION IN OZ!
Its called commitment!
Could be worse, like a orphan brand, ie Proton!

Wow. As owner of small fleet of Volvos, Fords, VWs, and BMWs, I want this C5 in California now! (better yet, the Autobahn). I will trek to Europe this summer to beg a drive at top speed topless (convertibles, please), even in a concept car. Prettier than anything here in USA, and a proposed hybrid to boot. Kisses to France, Luv Pandora (California).
PS ~ This design company really does appear to have a marketing problem. They have had a solid car company for decades, great engineering no doubt there. The R&D budget is now appearing robust, but the company must balance new products with other global considerations (eco-friendly/hybridsm; multi-continetal dealerships to sell and SERVICE; changing currency exchange rates eg: USA prices) to succeed. ~ Pan
