Talk:Citroën C5

Body styles

Shouldn't the type be hatchback instead of sedan?? --LimoWreck 18:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Your are right, it's not a hatchback; it is a liftback, like other large family cars: Ford Mondeo, Citroën Xantia, Opel Vectra, Renault Laguna... -- NaBUru38 20:24, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand the "unlike it's predecessors" part... the rear-end styling looks quite similar to the Xantia to me. Janm67 10:31, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Replacement

Everything I've read suggests the C5 will be replaced in 2008 and not 2007 as noted in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.220.193.170 (talk)

Helo, sorry for this kind of edit but i never did this on wikipedia before and i m in a bit of a hurry. Just wanted to point out that length of the C5 that is stated here is wrong (3,8m). Length of the car is closer to 4,8m but i m not sure about exact value. Cheers and once again im sorry for barging in like this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.105.60.231 (talk) 12:48, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Oversimplification

It seems oversimplistic to state that the C5 replaced the Xantia. It effectively replaced both the Xantia and the XM, and is much closer in size and trim levels to the latter.

It's probably therefore worth amending the table to describe the C5 as a small executive car (and arguably too small, hence the extremely costly development of the C6), the C4 as a large family car, the C3 as a small family car, the C2 as a supermini, and the C1 as a city car. This would better reflect the realignment in model placements of the C-series models over the X-series models. 82.36.26.229 17:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

• In France, the C5 competes with the Renault Laguna and Peugeot 407, both large family cars. Hektor 18:44, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Citroën C5X material removed

@Mr.choppers, ArchipelagoOcean, Sable232, and Dinkun Chen: Greetings and felicitations. I was looking up what is apparently the Citroën C5X and noticed that the material about it has been deleted, leaving only a self-referential/circular disambiguation hatnote and passing reference to it, as no separate article yet exists (and I'm not the one to write it :-/). As recent editors of the article and this material in particular I thought you'd like to know and possibly add it back or create the new article. —DocWatson42 (talk) 12:18, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

It seems that blocked User:ArchipelagoOcean (one of MrDavr's many sockpuppets) has been trying to make the C5 X a standalone for some time; currently we have no content in either place. Assuming his edits are dependable in this case, I actually recommend recreating Citroën C5 X and leaving this page in its current state. This is in no way intended as an approval of Mr Davr's editing habits.  Mr.choppers | ✎  17:52, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

@Mr.choppers: Okay—thank you for replying. While I don't have knowledge of the vehicle, for what it's worth I agree—a separate article might well make sense, and from the current state of the page is what I expected to find. (I only stopped by to look up the "Citroën C5 SUV" and as usual make any corrections that seemed warranted.) —DocWatson42 (talk) 14:58, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
