    I love these. Would I pick one of these over an E39 M5 or W210 E55AMG? I dunno. Maybe I would, just because they're different, not something you see everywhere...not a first pick for most people. But I surely would work on whatever I had to, to improve its reliability regardless if the car had no issues earlier.

      Citroen went bankrupt because of this car and the upcoming CX. Then it was taken over by Peugeot and went downhill since then. The C6 from 2002 still had an elegant look and kept the hydraulic suspension until 2017. I don't care about other models, including the gimmicky "DS" rebrand.
