No, not a plastic American two seater, a steel French five seater.

Meet a Citroën C5 estate. 2.0 diesel, automatic box, quite a lot of toys including steering headlights and fancy hydro whatsit suspension which I didn’t think was anything special. Parking sensors at each corner which sounded through the nearest radio speaker so you got audible warning of the location of the obstruction you were being warned about. Good at wafting around, surprisingly quick if you were so inclined. An umlaut (or a tréma if you insist) as standard.

Yes, it was a brownish diesel wagon. Not a manual though.

You didn’t like the hydro? I drive the exact same car in sedan gasoline flavor and I love the way it rides.

It was OK, but nothing special.

Don’t forget the British Sinclair C5 which was one seater. That’s the inventor Sir Clive Sinclair piloting a C5 towards commercial failure. For some weird reason there’s one of these displayed in a Finnish car museum.

Sadly, National Citer didn’t have that C5 for hire...

The newer Hydractives are nowhere near as... citroën-y as ye olde mechanical Hydropneumatics last seen on the Xantia.
