You know what...? I realised something regarding my somewhat 'at odds' comment about the ride quality of the DS5. I drove it on highways in the south of France - where the roads aren't cracked, lumpy and full of potholes!
I can imagine those stupidly large wheels and low profile tyres make for a very cruddy ride here in the UK.
DS6 anyone...?

A DS6 ... only if it had proper suspension and is not just another extended C4 platform.

Looks interesting, though that Paris picture looks quite unreal to me. Computer image perhaps?

Re: DS5 Road Test + DS & 2CV Pics
autoexpress seem to think it'll be punted out as the DS9??
re the angular wheels, are they going to go down the same route of the old corvette and have them 'sided' so they look the same on both sides rather than looks flowing on one side and stabbing on the other??/ (difficult to explain this morning, but with wheels with offset spokes from the centre suit the car from one side but on the other they are backwards??)
nice to see Citroen with a slightly Off the wall design again!!

Re: DS5 Road Test + DS & 2CV Pics
having a nose through the AE app on the phone yesterday whilst on the loo, and is a small artical on the DS9, apparently its destined for the Chineese market only and wont be coming to the Uk. is being built in partnership with a chineese company along with a couple of others in the DS range,
so looks like it'll be an import possability in a few years???
