Spied: 2011 Citroen DS5 UNVEILED

It's like stepping right into 1970.
 
My God, it's like stepping into Gary Glitter's colon.
 
Cutest rear wiper ever

Look at the suits in the high visibility jackets standing around being awkward. That's why they got the jackets, because visitors have an unusual and flawless ability of getting in the way of honest workers wherever they appear. I was once surprised at my station by jacketless mastersneak Stephen Odell who came in followed by a swarm of suits in hiviz-jackets. Stephen Odell is really really short, and just like Kim Jong Il he went around to acquaint himself in detail with the production process. Not just from the sidelines, he was genuinely interested in poking about. Somehow he managed to not get in the way either. Top bloke. But his managerial entourage, like dedicated generals of the Kim, followed and pretended to be interested in the same things he was and managed to get in the way quite effectively.

In the US, the suits (and even the boss man) would have to wear hardhats too, lest they knock their head on some supporting beam and sue their own company for trillions of mexican pesos.

Re: Citro?n. Fancy.

The biggest indication that they aren't UAW is the absence of beer.
 
I don't like it.

It's just another answer to a question nobody fucking asked; just like the Renault Vel Satis, Vauxhall Signum and BMW 5-series GT. Hopefully, it will be a failure and I will laugh my arse off at the expense of those idiots who bought one brand new for 30k and will be struggling to sell for 5k after just 3 years.

I actually think it looks brilliant inside and out.

The modern PSA diesels are really good too. Tried one the other day.

But I still don't think I could look past Citr?ens reputation for unreliable cars.

Reading up on them Citroen don't seem to making cars as fragile as they used to. Dad used to have a C5 estate that stood up well to the high mileage and complete lack of servicing he tends to employ. As time wore on the mechanics started to wear, although if it was serviced correctly I wouldn't imagine it would as large a problem.
Last year he ran his Skoda Octavia 25,000 miles past its oil change date without even topping it up. :lol:

I like this, it's different and shows that you can design a car that does't look exactly like a BMW, Audi or VW. The interior in particular looks like an Edwardian sitting room collided with spaceship at speed, I like that.
I can see visibility being a complete bitch though, the side windows are tiny and rear screen almost non-existent.
Its interesting how through the 60s and 70s car designers were trying to make the cars as easy to see out off as possible whereas now you'd probably get better visibility out of an Austin A30!
 
Funky center console. Citro?n are finding their roots.
 
Grey is such a boring colour, especially for this car. This is perhaps the only car I would buy in brown.
 
The French are so much more interesting than the Germans. Never thought I'd see the day where I'd rather a Citroen than a BMW.
 
Why does it try so hard to look MASSIVE?
 
Probably because it is massive. It dwarfs the tiny A4 next to it.
