Best of luck with your new C6, I'm afraid you'll going to need it 
The ride should be very comfortable.

Thanks to those of you who have been empathetic to my situation.
And although I expected some jokes at my expense ( trust me, I've had plenty already from my friends and workmates ) I can understand the disappointment of many on this forum for my "defection" from the marque.
However, I can do without the type of smartarse comment typified below

It's really not that bad 
. I'm sure comments were meant in jest
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro?n_C6
. I'm sure comments were meant in jest
The C6 is the first car to obtain four stars in the pedestrian test rating of EuroNCAP due to the inventive design, where the bonnet pops up a little if a person/animal is hit, thus increasing the gap between the deformable bonnet and the non-deformable engine components below.
On an episode of Top Gear, co-presenter Jeremy Clarkson tested the C6's Hydractive suspension by mounting a camera on it and driving it on the infield of a track while filming a horse race. Despite the bumps and potholes on the infield, the C6 managed to provide a comfortable ride and stable video coverage of the race while moving at 60 km/h (approx. 40 mph). At the same time, a BMW 5-series performed the same test, but its suspension could not keep the camera upright.
Former French president Jacques Chirac has chosen the Citro?n C6 as his official car, and has been using a pre-series car before the model was introduced.

I saw one of these C6's the other day in white with some pimped black windows. It really was a great looking car and so rare on the roads. IIRC the large 3.0 diesel is the same that goes in the Jag so should be good for some oomph.
Great choice of car, and very different from the normal euro box. Hope it proves reliable - electrics especially.
Nice

Holy moly ! Just seen my car for sale by a main dealer (I sold it to an intermediary trader).
Anyone interested pm me and i can give you tips on what to check-out when seeing the car ( although I'm sure the dealer has fixed any minor issues).
It's a fantastic car , specced up like noboby's business!
