Well... My mom filled out a raffle ticket on my name when i was two, we won a SAAB 96 and traded it for this model, 99. Almost the same color (metallic paint was for US export model...). My family kept it for 25 years, it served us really well. I learned to drive with it and that thing handles like a dream (it has heavy steering but is is so stable and responsive, just wonderful, plus ours had aftermarket short gearbox from police unit and bored cylinders, small tweaks to oomph the torque for caravan use. Finnish police used SAAB for a loong time, it accelerated like a rocket..).

Seeing the inside of that just brings me memories. Mom, Dad, my big brother and me and a full sized double bass, all inside (you can't transport it outside when it's freezing, the thing can explode..). It meant that i had to ride shotgun, seat fully front and back against the front door, head on dashboard. Backseat folded and mom and bro at the back, equally cramped. We used to say that first comes the bass, then the family if they fit in and there is always room in the boot (joke.. ). The day he started to play cello was a blessing and a curse. Have you ever had to live with a person that learns to play cello? It's horrible but i paid him back when i got full blown PA in my room, cabinets from floor to ceiling.. Musicians family is always a bit eccentric and weird..

My dad still has SAAB (fourth one) as they are just amazing to drive, handles winter conditions like nothing and are great for long roadtrips. I just hope i can get him the Citroen CX he has wanted from his teens...

Never was there a better time to bring it back I keep lamenting this. They've got a thousand episodes of material!

For YEARS, I've been looking for the Grace Jones Citroen parody opening to that show but can't find it. I WISH they'd bring that show back, it was hillarious.

Answer: "Cheese, wine and rubbish." - Question: "What three words best describe France?"

That's precisely what I thought as well, and what I presume most folks have thought. Incidently, it was answered by Jeremy Clarkson more than once over the years, particularly when they had a piece about Renault, Peugeot or Citroen on Top Gear.

Anyway, Frankie does rip a lot on Kerry Katona - and it gets better every time.

I see John is selling Citroen cars too these days. Presumably yoko had to give permission for this?

Yeah, almost like they were avoiding showing us the rear for whatever reason??

So the car in game is electric and this RL car is a V8. RL should have been electric. Citroen should have used this to promote electric super/sports cars like other manufacturers are doing. Full electric cars will be common in the near future.

The citroen won?

Are Tangos made by Citroen?

I don't care how fast it is, it's still ugly as sin.

The citroen won?

youtube: "Audi S8 & Mercedes S W116 vs Citroen XM & three Peugeot 605"


Great movie. This should be the same chase as the original.

EDIT: Oops, looks like Raytrace already had found the replacement...

This may have been fixed with the wrong chase scene.. seeing as this video doesn't have an audi s8 or citroen in it as indicated in the tags.

This should be the right one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwUhjHtdoY4

Well, the real moral is if you're looking for safety, a 30 year old Citroen is probably the wrong choice...
