Can't tell me it's not "CX Revisited" though!!

Cx is prettier but it is certainly a recognisable descendant.

that looks sexy to me. Who knows maybe in ten years time I'll be driving one instead of the Xantia!

I just hope they don't extend the rear lights, or it will look like an Audi (i find the C5 MKII rear lights, from a side view, lokk like a Skoda Octavia, no kidding!)
I miss the partially covered rear wheels (sigh)

Yeah, I miss the partially covered wheels too. Like the new nose on C5 but the back needs some more work in my opinion. Definatly heavy influences of CX, At least its a distinctive design anyway. I think its stunning.

Will it go in the average size garage that's being built these days? Still looks good to me. Where the Coupe gone?

Good question Stuart. Dimensions would be nice. How much bigger than a CX is it. Contrary to popular belief, the CX saloon isn't very big at all. I'd reckon about the size of a Mondeo. Cars have become rather bloated of late, don't you think?
It will be interesting to park a CX next to one to compare notes. I wonder when it will be in the dealers' showrooms?

I like it. I think it looks a bit like a stretched 5dr C4 though.

As for the bloated cars just look at the VX range. The golf is again bigger and the Polo is now bigger than the original golf. Also Audi, BMW, Honda all seem to have gotten a lot bigger but with no real bigger (space) interiors. Back seats in some cars is still a pain for us 6 foot plus folk.

I take it you haven't been in the back of a BX hatch lately? Its one great disadvantage compared to the estate is the rear lip to the roof which scrapes the head of people my size or taller (5 foot 10 and a half, for the record). But then the BX is a lot lower than most cars nowadays.

C6 = product of liaison between a CX an a Vauxhall Calibra?

£30,000 to £35,000 -
who are they marketing this at? Most perple in that price bracket will be buying a "name" (BMW, Merc etc).
Renault tried it and failed - Toyota realised that they had to develop a new marque to market high value exec class motors... How many midle managers are going to go... "Yep I drive a Citroen" down the golf club?

Yeah, but we all know that Lexus are driven by folk with absolutley NO taste or chavs. Folk who want a named car will aways go to the BMW or Merc dealer regardless of how low down the reliability polls they are coming. We all know that if you want a good, soild reliable car that'll do mega milage it going to be far Eastern, except for the diesels which are still a little....well rubbish (sorry read harsh) on a 99 'T' reg Toyota or simalar.

That's a moot point, Marty. If it is as good value as a C4 then just maybe it will work if it is beautiful and stuffed with toys. All will be well - until it gets back to the Citroen dealership for the first service. THe diagnostic download computer will be plugged in with the engine running, wiping it and the car's 97 separate ECUs out (thereby protecting the fuse that supplies them). THe dealer will explain to Mr punter that there is a need for some "Software upgrade enhancement" and put him into the base model C2 courtesy car for five weeks. By summer 2008, we'll all be able to afford one, and Jon will have cracked the software problems and you'll be looking after lots of deranged middle managers, so you'll never be out of work!
