Citroen don't seem to be getting anything wrong lately, that Dash looks like a really comfy place to be sat behind. Wouldn't mind one of those!

Mmmm, I wonder what the build quality will be like, being French! Especially after a few years on the road!

Citroen seem to be getting everything right and Peugeot getting everything wrong.

It's not as nice a design as a DS3 but its still nice.

I currently drive a DS3 but I'd much rather sit my fat ass in a DS5!!

if they salooned out the back of that , put something >2.5 litre in it and replaced the urinal cake idrive thingy with a touch screen for the nav id definitley consider it

I must be ill! That looks just about perfect for my needs - space for people, space for a bike, comfy suspension for increasingly the pot-holed roads I use, distinctive....

Maybe not new tho...and I'd need an old 944/968 for when I feel like something a bit...more invigorating:D

Absurdum

what's the craic with engines? will it have a woefully underpowered HDI thing, and will the electrics go on strike in a couple of years?

There's a couple of very reasonably priced 968s going on this forum

That's tidy. The drivers seat looks like a nice place to sit!

Ugly pile of poo.

Eh no....nice looking motor. The view from the drivers seat is tasty. The outside would need to be seen in proper daylight to get a real idea but it is certaonly a nice looking moter. It won't be around for a while but the prices will be interesting - well worth a test drive I would imagine.
Looks a bit busy overhead but I like the Audi style MMI control - I think that's what it is.

Looks great. It'll be interesting to see what the boggo specc interior will look like!

What sort of size is it ? Ford Focus or Audi Q7 ?

DS5 is based on the C5 which is a competitor to the Passat/Mondeo, etc.

It'll be a damn shame that few of the decent engined ones will not get picked up here, and they'll be spastic money.

Fantastic looking car and in agreement with another poster about the practicality. Would be great for throwing a few bikes or surf boards in the back. Looks like a big sized hatch.

Apparently going to be getting the hybrid technology in it too with a combination of 2 litre diesel and electric motor with a total 200bhp! Nice.

Will be very interested to see the spec on the Irish one though, the interior could be vastly different from the picture of that specced up one and do people think that the production model would have the same body panels as the one in the picture??

I like the design of the new citroen range but what concerns me is, you don't see many older versions on the road. Is that because they become unreliable, uneconomical to repair after a few years??

-Chris-

If that was Golf/Focus sized I'd say it looks amazing, but I can't imagine those proportions in a Mondeo sized car.

Can't wait to see it in the flesh - Citroen seem to be the new Alfa Romeo!
