"C5 Styling" is an oxymoron.
It's the new Scorpio
I was in a dealer buying a keyfob for my Xantia when I first saw one. I had of course heard about the Xantia replacement but not seen one and thought they had gone completely mad producing this huge bulbous blob after the sleek lines of the CX and Xantia.
I did sit in it and liked it on the inside (an Exclusive).
I'm a bit more resigned to it's appearance now, mainly due to it being mostly parked beside a neighbour's Xafira. Looks positively elegant beside that heap.
Just been out in the SAAB, that does have a powerful grin factor but I still prefer to drive the C5 which when all is working as it should is nearly as quick as the SAAB.
