The Citroen DS5

[Ferrer]

So, two of the DSs are high riding cars and they are suposed to be sporty?

Also whenever a car maker is talking about a sporty ride, you know what that means. A pointlessly stiff suspension.

That this may be happening at Citroën is definite proof that the automotive world has been mad.

[f6fhellcat13]

I know the Citroens are very very good ride, but i've read some reviews about the DS5 and they said the ride is not too much of a problem. Also it a DS Citroen, DS Citroens are meant to be a bit more sporty so the ride will be a bit more hard being more sporty, but i do know what you mean about other citroens being a much better ride.

Call me old fashioned, but when I hear "Citroën" and "DS" I think of driving along on hydropneumatic pillows.

[Ferrer]

Yeah, well that would be if in the meantime something called marketing hadn't been invented...

[f6fhellcat13]

Well, because we don't get the modern DSs here, and I have seen some old ones on the road, I will just stick my fingers in my ears and bury my head in the sand.

the machinery has been started by Peugeot, in order to ultimately get rid of the hydro suspension......the cheaper C5 versions are already fitted with iron springs....the remainder (more expensive versions fo the C5 and the C6) is to follow within, let me bet, ten years from now.

These days even Suabrus look like Toyotas and Alfa Romeos are little more than rebadged Fiats.

What's next, front wheel drive BMWs?

Oh, wait...

as long as we won't get RWD Citroens that's fine with me

I think of the Citroen Burt Reynolds stole in the movie"The Longest Yard" pretty good car chase to.

[Brix]

Have they aver built a classic sedan? Most of their cars were hatchbacks...

well the Xantia, and first generation C5 had a styling which could indicate it was a sedan.. (i know they where hatchbacks/berline).

But the 5008 platform isn't that bad!?, if it's modified right to the DS5, it could be good. Of course nothing like the goddess, but i don't think we will ever see anything like that again.

^^^ I think Citroen are trying to be more sporty these days, trying to apeal to a wider range of people. I think their trying to be cool, i think thing they have shown they can when it comes down to the DS3. Also the DS5 will be compeating with the BMW 3 GT som maybe that's got something to do with it.

I rember Citroen made a big car with good surspention like the old Citroen's a year or two ago and a reveiw i read said it was great car. I don't think it sold as well as they hoped it would, mabe the market don't whant them as much as they did with the old Citroens with good surspention? i don't know, Mabe Citreon is trying somthing new.

FTFY:

No, just the opposite. They are producing bland product with the same technology every other manufacturer employs.

[thebrochureman]

^^^ Mabe they use the same technology every other manufacturer employs because they want to compeat with them, and when i said cool i said trying to be cool. I think the DS3 is cool, infact very cool.

[Ferrer]

No, just the opposite. They are producing bland product with the same technology every other manufacturer employs.

And they are pillaging some heritage with names.

The perfect 21st century car, them.

Shame it's been infected by the silly DRL led trend.

Nobody will stop this madness because it's backed up by science.
Seems like the science trolls have finally found their home.

[Ferrer]

Yup, but there's nicely integrated, well designed led DRLs.

And then there are those of the DS3.
