I don't see it. What's the problem?
This.
The rear door shape could follow the line of the wheelarch and it would all look far more cohesive but for some reason they decided to have that confused mess of lines instead.
-
The combination of the shape of the door and the shape of the wheelarch on a Pug 2008. A mess. Could have just had the door follow the line of the plastic. There are a few other SUVs which commit this design sin but the 2008 is the worst.

£795 9-5 Aero estate, MOT November 2024. Suspiciously cheap. MOT suggests it will want discs all round soon and the ever present corrosion on the underside is, er, present... but even so. At that price...

Citroen C6 estate.

Christ that's a cool looking car @Rocket88.

The C6 coolant hose is on back order from Citroen. I asked the garage when I'll have the car back. "Could be this week, could be next." Mmmm...hmmm.

Runners seem to start at about £2k
I reckon I could get that for the C6.
... Can you get a child seat in the Jaaaaag?

I think you are right. The Etype is, and has been for ages up in the stratosphere, the XJS is now getting there. These are so cheap at the moment.
Define "cheap".

Snorted at the idea that the Chevette was a "tiny" car.

I like the YRV. Did they not do a sported up version of it?

I'm extremely jealous. Want.

I could never have guessed that.
I hoped but I didn't dare to expect.
Well bought!

That is not a happy C6.
Where someone's bodged that pipe previously, it cracked. The crack has completely split. And... you can see the result.
It made it to Durham and back today with a *lot* of water being tipped into it, but the pipe finally gave up the ghost on the way back home.
Straight into a garage next week to get it fixed properly, which someone didn't bother to do last time it went. Known failure point on these so a new one will at least mean peace of mind for me. For a while.

My C6 was a Gumtree find, under £2k with stacks of history and a fresh ticket.
It has a leaky thermostat housing at the moment but TADTS. So check that when looking at one. Check the heater blows the same temperature on both sides (which mine doesn't). Check the suspension goes up and down as it should, of course. A check engine light may or may not be something to worry about. Check the windows go up and down as they should when you open the doors.
They're awesome, not as "proper" as an XM or CX but still a comfortable, rare, distinctive and quirky way to get around. Can't comment on any other engines but the 2.7HDi in mine is a really good fit for the car, surprisingly smooth and plenty powerful enough.
I have a baby on the way and although I think we'll be fine with me having a C6 as my daily driver, I would swap for something more practical and cheaper to tax and run.
-
If you showed me that and asked me to guess who made it, Lotus would be about twentieth on the list. So generic.
-
I went round a corner in the C6 yesterday and the rear passenger side window went down. Like, all the way down. Immediately. I heard road noise and felt a draught, looked over my shoulder and was extremely confused. Pulled over, tried the window switch and it went straight back up. The most WTF thing it's done to me yet.
In brighter news, I think I've worked out where the coolant is leaking from. Or at least, I've found one of the spots it's leaking from.
-
Is that an outhouse on the back? Could make decent money bringing that to festivals and such and charging a couple quid a go (fiver for a poo).

Ooooh, XM content incoming?

Zero on all counts for me. The C6 has never refused to start, it's what happens after it's started that's usually the problem.
