Dumbing down of Citroen

Post by JohnD »

Julian Marsh of citroenet.org.uk writes on another forum that an informant in Paris has mentioned to him that the next generation of C5s will no longer have hydropnuematic suspension. Even the Exclusives will be on steel springs.................... Probably a rebadged 508. Poor Citroen!

More likely a rebadged Insignia as Opel are going to build them in Germany.
God help us :shock:

Current C5 is a rebadged Mondeo as far as looks, may as well buy a Ford if Citroen are no different to anything else! :twisted: :twisted: 8-[

A conclusion to which I am coming to, theres a lot more choice at cheaper prices on the S/H market as well.
