Very nice looking, too. Just hope they finally realise, if they're serious about heading upmarket, as they see it, that they will need to have some proper size engines to go with it. Car that size should pretty much have room to fit proper, grunty V8, at least. I'm with the Americans on this -- no substitute for ccs ! Presumably if they intend using the C6 platform, the C6 will continue. Be nice if it's effectively downgraded in the line-up if they finally decide to do an estate version (proper one, please --- lots of space and height).

Mike.

Looks like something Tony Stark would drive! Mind there's nothing wrong with that but think you'd
never completely carry off living with one - you'd either look like a chauffeur or a drug dealer!!
As I despise their drivers, I hope it'd eat Audis for breakfast... :evil:

It looks like it's designed around the GT concept, which I can't understand why Citroen don't put into production.

Due to the fact people have begged Citroen to put the GTbyCitroen into production, earlier in the year
they announced it would be released in a limited run using a more conventional powertrain than the full
blown hi-tech/hybrid running gear as seen in the Gran Turismo game with approx 10-50 being produced
and only for favourite Citroen customers at a £100k pricetag. The fact that Citroen heavily use the car in
all comm's and publicity would suggest the promise will be realised and it's use as an image builder
appears to be doing wonders for the perceived "Innovation" brand.

The fact this DS9 design for production is being implemented just confirms a very positive approach
now paying dividends for the Citroen brand thanks to a new company Director who wants Cit to be
the niche manufacturer and Pug the white goods supplier. Seems the new mindset is just now starting
to filter through. Hooray to that. :D
