Looks like a facelifted Citroen C6. Not bad, I guess.

Another big French car that will be sold at a discount and depreciate like a stone, built only to give the French corporals of industry an alternative to the Citroen C6.


Be a good cheap secondhand buy if you can hold your nerve on possible electrical gremlins.

Looks like an extended Megane, pretty plain.
