Re: oh dear..a 'new' C5
Looking in Aftonbladet yesterday I saw an article on the new Volvo estate.
Damned if I can find it now but this is a similar article - in English fortunately.
Volvo Kombi Coupé

Re: oh dear..a 'new' C5
Supposedly the design is derived from the P1800ES - was given the rather derogatory colloquialism 'Fiskebilen' in Sweden (Fishcar)
I love them, superb looking car.
Not sure about the glass floor in the new one though.

At least it shows that they're not yet dropping Hydractive completely.

I actually quite like the styling of the C5 X7, even in estate form. The last Citroen estate I liked the styling of was the GS! (DS, CX, Xantia estates all look ugly and utilitarian to me, while I like their saloon / hatchback versions)

Re: oh dear..a 'new' C5
I like that, very nicely proportioned for a modern big Citroen. The wheels are *just* the right size and it all seems to fit together.old'uns wrote:stumbled across this on a search for wing mirrors!!

Re: oh dear..a 'new' C5
I agree. It's not as distinctively Citroen as some older models perhaps but a very nice looking car with excellent proportions and still a bit of flair. Hands down better looking than the original and facelift (pre X7) C5's which are ugly, ill-proportioned and dull looking.Northern_Mike wrote:I like that, very nicely proportioned for a modern big Citroen.

I think a Hydractive III+ C5 X7 is on the horizon for me in a few years time, maybe not my next car but the one after...

I think it looks good. Not a lot of change to the interior from the glimpse given but it looks the part.
