Cut all the crap out, and you get:

and

Second one doesn't get much appreciation from the posters. What do they know 8)

Of course, you can just look at the proper stuff now it's been released:

http://www.c6.citroen.com/uk/

There was a review in Diesel car a couple of months ago - not very informative, I got the feeling they hadn't actually driven it, and just regurgitated (very badly!) the official blurb. I used to get DC regularly, but the spelling and grammar errors are now so bad as to render it unreadable - and the content is questionable.

I keep looking to see if my local dealer has a C6 demo, but not yet.

I noticed the mondeo driver in that forum (second link) talk horse poo, he says the engines in the C6 are crap!... says a mondeo driver, who may even have the PSA developed TDCi engine, does he know what the 2.7 v6 HDI can do? And compared it against what BMW has to offer... the M5! Totally different cars, the M5 is a 500BHP supercar!

Only now you get to see the C6? God, i've put some photos here last May of the one Citroën has here! (and i sat on it!!!:D\:D/ )
Could that post have been deleted when the transition was made from andyspares?

Wheeler, is AMVAR the reason why the hydraulics have such huge diameter (around 10mm) high pressure pipes and the 2 extra spheres per axle? So long for the Activa...:(

Here are the photos from last year:

Activa and Hydractive 2 also have large 10mm pipes - it's neccessary any time where there is a ride cushioning sphere connected at a great distance from the strut tops, otherwise flow rate restrictions in the pipe would cause a harsh ride...

Hmm, the guy "Safari" seems to be talking a load of rubbish too....

"For the first time on any Citroen - the front suspension should be wishbone set up unlike the macpherson strut "

Eh ? What ? Citroen havn't used wishbone front suspension before ? :wink: The fact that his avatar picture is a DS makes it even more ironic. Sheesh...

The CX was the last hydraulic Citroen fitted with double wishbones ...

... which gave the hydraulic suspension the unparallelled comfortable suspension as a landmark for the CX.

yeah thats correct,theese thick pipes are on HA2 & HA3+.
The electrical conection on the strut is for the AMVAR system.
