*Citroen Indonesia ceased operation in 1996.

4-speed because only 4 of the gears actually work or does Citroën still mount automatic 4-speeds?

I think that at least design-wise, this generation C5 looks a lot more high end than many German sedans. You ought to see a top trim one!

Too bad none of the French companies ever partner up with a US. My life lacks French cars

The dreaded AL4 transmission, then?

The only one available here, yes.

I'm not sure if they got that ironed out in later years, but the AL4-equipped Xantias had a terrible reputation for transmission self-destruction. Something to do with a cheap solenoid failing, resulting in expensive mechanical damage.

Citroën's relationship with automatic transmissions seems somewhat weird. The DS and CX only got automatics very late in their lives – Citroën preferred to use their own weird semi-auto designs that, although very clever, still required you to shift for yourself. It's almost as if they considered them an afterthought.

I guess most of them were, the french never really cared for autos.
