Any specs?? Current price??

[Paddie]

Don't believe everything on Wikipedia! There's no way a C6 weighs so much. The figures probably refer to maximum laden weight.

 

This is probably more accurate:

1816-1871kg

Not much info as of now .... heard the car only arrive at the facility today, and the official launch is gonna be sometime in Oct 07.

 

But heard its gonna be price against the E-class, so prob will be a few grands cheaper.

 

If I have the money and the car is as easy to maintain as the E-class, I'll take the C6 anytime ....

The car should comes with a free French chick with car-repair skills.

The problem with Citroen

 

the repairs are a killer

 

then there are hardly any repair shops that can do a decend repair especially their suspension

[Powerkeong]

C6 reminds me about my O level results 4 yrs back...

 

C6 English Language

C6 Combined Humanities

C6 Elementary Maths

C6 Additional Maths

C6 Arts

 

LOL!!!

 

Maybe those successful people who got a lot of C6s for their O levels should consider this car.

how naive

[Bern]

i would say a head turner , but not for the right reason. the C4 still the best looker in the range

[Furrynadz]

each of citroen cars is catered for a diff age group and preference

it just depends how old u are

another ignorant sweeping comment.....

Usually people who make such comments are run-of-the-mill jap car owners

You can't blame them.

I am also a Jap car owner but is looking closely at Conti cars, but still dare not take the plunge.

Why? Because when we do some research (as in my case) when I look up Opel Astra forum, I got a rude shock of my life. Their MTA gear box can fail to engage gear and the car lose power, most of the complaints are fairly new cars....See it in Opel forum. No doubt, interior finishing is top notch but reliability is still .

These are the incident that make Jap car onwers like me worried and think twice, 3x, 4x and still waiting at the sides and do not dare to take the plunge.

[Rickster]

Well, thats the reason why i made that comment in my posting There has to be come trade-off here and there. You pay more for the comfort, features, handling & safety for a conti.

 

I agree, generally, contis might not be as reliable as their jap counterparts, but one has to see beyond factors like reliability when buying a car.
