Haha, I do that sometimes Cheese.

This thing is ugly as sin. And the steering wheel bit would be extremely annoying when actually trying to use those buttons. Not easy to remember locations relative to the spokes on the moving part of the wheel... so you have to look. Stupid!
 
«Attends.. QUOI!?» :drool:

The wagon is even better!!

It's good to see that Citroën is at least attempting to offset the ugliness of their silly brother Peugeot.

Glad I'm not the only one:dunce:

I'm having a little trouble with the wheel too. I thought it was kinda cool at first but that center part is just way to big with way too many buttons. It looks a little like a 90s attempt to make a high tech futuristic gizmo. It might be awesome in person, but at least try to turn down the buttons. We don't need a D-pad to drive our car, guys.
 
Compared to what else is in the segment (at least in the US anyway), you have to admit that this would be one of the better choices based on distinctive looks alone. I mean, lets be honest, there aren't many good-looking cars that are this size or this price anymore... Maybe the '08 Chevrolet Malibu (with the exception of the rear lights), the Mercury Milan (yes, I said it!) and the Ford Mondeo (still a stunning vehicle) do so, but this easily passes all of them in my book.

Wheel be damned, this is an awesome car. One more reason why I'm jealous of those Socialists across the Pond...
 
But it'd do with more power in this market, right, Brad? Looks ain't anything if they can't be backed up.
 
Very true, but do also keep in mind that the car was designed for Europe not the United States, so power figures are only so important. My guess is that if they would ever sell the car here, the 143 BHP I4 model would be more than sufficent if the weight isn't too hefty. Although the V6 does fall short of power expectations, it too wouldn't do too bad either

As we all know, I'd rather have the HDI 208 BHP V6 anyway...
 
philly cheese

I think the designer thought it up while scrubbing dishes.
 
Ugly? This is a beautiful maiden! Yes, it looks pretty edgy, but still remains clean. Isn't Citroen (I can't do that specialized "e" letter because I don't know how to type it) part of the VW/Audi group? Reason I ask is because there are some Audi-like elements to its design. It's an amazing-looking car. The interior is somewhat of a disappointment (clean, but not really amazing). Otherwise, this French maiden is beautiful. I'd love for them to bring this car to America if Citroen plans to sell/return to America.

You're thinking of Skoda, Citroen is owned by Peugeot. There have been discussed plans to bring Citroen to Canada, and presumably the United States thereafter, but nothing has come of it yet...

I would expect one of their top motors to be the base engine if the car comes here and Citroen wants to sell any. For a car this size, 150 hp would be a minimum, but the V-6 would be much better suited to the car.
