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
