Just watching Top Gear on BBC2
Good on that man who reckons that his Pug 406 with 6 CD Changer is the best in the world!

And there he is not far off the mark. It is a good car Never forget it's a Xantia without hydropneumatic suspension...red_dwarfers wrote: Good on that man who reckons that his Pug 406 with 6 CD Changer is the best in the world!
It was the common practice with PSA back then. The Citroen would come first, followed by the Pug:
BX was the basis of the 405
ZX was the basis of the 306
AX and Saxo was the 106
Xantia was the 406
Was the XM the basis of the 605?
It might even have been the case with the Visa and 104 although the 104 may have come first. Can't remember...
The 205 was the real exception. That started off as a Simca but Citroen used the 205GTi running gear to make the Visa GTi.
I got the feeling Clarkson agreed the 406 was a good car. No realy adverse comments as I recall.
I quite agree Richard. Every episode now contains childish bumpercars. I enjoty TG and watch it in the spirit in which it's intended (i.e. light entertainment) but every time I still wince at the pointless damage they inflict.reblack68 wrote:I switched it on for a few minutes then switched it off again. There is no need to smash ANY other car when there are still Subaru Imprezas and BMW Minis in the world.
Clarkson tonight could not even keep the Fiesta test sensible. It started well but soon degenerated.

The Visa was the 205 IIRC.citrojim wrote: It might even have been the case with the Visa and 104 although the 104 may have come first. Can't remember...
