Reminds me of a sf XJ220. Good thing cars don't break down on gran turismo, it's still a Citroën. They haven't made a decent car since the CX.

your hate for Citroen is like Adam's hate for Hyundai (no offense). kind of in the same way too since i've been hearing alot about how Citroen/Renault are working their way up in quality like Hyundai is. anyway, this car is has a fuel cell which is powered by 4 motors giving off 780hp. this also has a system similar to the upcoming KERS system in the F1 cars. when the driver slows down, the motors generate energy and sends it back to the batteries. being how bulky this car looks though, it only weighs 3,086lbs. |

Don't you mean Peugoet/Citroën?
Either way, Renault is on track, they make fairly decent cars, verry safe without doubt.
Citroën got worse as electronics in cars went up. Their engines aren't exactly reliable either, they have cheap looking in- and extirior. At least the price Citroën cars is low.

None taken bud. I know my disgust for them can appear irrational. So have at it! Regardless, I really like the styling. Let me understand then, this has an electric power plant? Or a hybrid? I havent read squat about it. |

The C6 is luxourious no doubt, C5 average. Dont like the C6 engine tho, verry slow for a 200hp V6.
I have been in many Citroën, the suspension feels like your on a flying carpet in every model. My last experience C4 picasso, it disturbed me how cheap it looked and felt on the inside, I realy can't imagine driving that every day.

Adam, to tell you the truth, i have never understood fuel cell technology. so i don't really know what category of green car this would fall under. i keep thinking hybrid because once i hear fuel cell, i automatically think of an internal combustion engine burning some time of liquid/vapor.
maybe Lee or somebody else can shed some light on this.

Fuel cells get their energy from fusing hydrogen and oxygen atomes into water, what you have left when it's out of energy is basicly a tank of water. It creates electric energy so it works as an electric car.
Evo gave me link to the explenation to it once, it was on howstuffworks.com.
I still don't get why they don't use this on large scale to generate electricity.

Citroen got expensive cars too, like Renault. For example, you can pay about 40 000€ for a Citroen C6 Limousine or C-Crosser. They both got cheap car, like Citroen C1 or the Renault Twingo. |

I know, but if I say Citroën I think of C4, C3,... the cars you see everyday. Not that ugly ass, fat and slow C6. A 3liter V6 with 200hp running on petrol...I's slow, ugly, expensive and has poor fuel economy, it can't even be used as a status symbol because of the Citroën badge on the hood. At least they offer diesels in it now.
The C-crosser is just an Outlander with a worse engine ( Outlander = VW engine ) and a price tag that starts at 7000€ more.
I have nothing against Renault.
