I agree, it's Photoshopped. Citroen should have made that, it would have sold and improved their image.

Very photoshopped. Close to a modern SM though.

Yes that is an interesting one, although I think I prefer the four door version on the balance! They seem to have stolen Neil's shiny wheels!! Regards, Matthew T.

I'm curious, what's wrong with the SM's proportions?
I think they are quite well balanced personally. But I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.


I have to agree with you Matthew. Four door is better. The XM is essentially a four door mild reinterpretation of the SM anyway.

I think it would look better with a set of Italia alloys...

The rear flanks of the SM are visually too heavy. I think this is more evident on a real car than in most pictures. On the XM coupe above, the kick-up at the waistline is less pronounced, and there are swage lines to break up the mass of the flanks.
