Haven't you seen the C5 ads?
YouTube - The New Citroën C5 - Unmistakeably German
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!

I'm going to have to say the XF. Although I do prefer other cars like the C63, 1-series and the EVO, a COTY has to be practical, reliable and provide good value. I can say from experience that my mum has an XF and they are just great all round cars, look amazing too.
if you can read German, here is a test of a Volvo, BMW and C6. Contrary to what you would expect, the C6 was faster through a slalom than the BMW, maybe Citroen already did care about handling earlier...

here is a link to an AMS test of the C5HDIV6
I have taken out the judgment on ride quality...the only negative point is the turning circle, but Australia is roomy enough to not take that as a serious minus point I would say.

+ sicheres Kurvenverhalten (secure cornering)
+ stabiler Geradeauslauf (stable in a straight line)
+ gutes Handling
+ geringe Karosseriebewegungen (few body movements)
– großer Wendekreis
In short I can only qualify the Wheels judgment as blatantly incorrect, and a disgrace for the Australian automotive press, if they are indeed as MSN said the largest publication around.

No I can't read german I'm afaird.
Well done Citroën.
(I've always liked the C6 anyway, handling or not)

Blatant fanboyism is blatant.
Carey is a qualified and respected automotive journalist. you don't have to like his opinions, but this is honestly the most sour puss response I've ever seen.
You know very little of the road conditions in Australia, and it's entirely plausible, and indeed possible, that the vehicle did not perform to expectations.
Furthermore, the vehicle obviously did not leave a good enough impression on Mr McCarthy, another well respected automotive journalist in Australia, to warrant further inclusion in this test.
different opinions to yours are allowed, you know.

Well said IB4R - I must say that I thought that the C5 had a good ride but am very unequipped to comment.
You must consider that henk is the premier auto expert in all The Netherlands and possibly the World and all dissenting views are invalid - funny though, as I would say he's what probably would be described as liberal and liberals are meant to accept other's opinions.
Curious.
Anyways, tension and argument add to the fun of UCP!
This was the classiest of the comment: "Blatant fanboyism is blatant."
Gold.
Where on the spec sheet does it indicate it doesnt?

At this point the Falcon leads polling.
What I wonder is are people voting for what they want to win or what they think will win - the poll asks for what will win not what's your favourite.
Is the Falcon really that good or are people cosing it because they think patriotism (coupled with bribery maybe?) will give it the edge in the test?
