Citroen Conservatoire Visit

[jamescarruthers]

Hello XMers, hope you are good. Just wanted to say hi and post my XM pics from a recent little trip to the Citroen Conservatoire in Paris last week. 

They have three XM: a S1, S2 and Multimedia‎. The colour of the multimedia really made it stand out!

Nice photos. I have a Multimedia in that colour - but it's a 1/18 model

Multimedia look great and are really nice to drive being a late V6.
Citroen should have made more than 49 of them given that cars are now sold on infotainment packages and connectivity instead of driving dynamics, packaging, and general ability.
A car 15 years ahead of it's time for communication ability, though not the first multiplexed Xm...they were early Series 1 cars.

I like the minky colour of that Series1. That was never available in the Uk.

The Multimedia was not multiplexed.

They were produced just a bit too soon for the mobile phone networks. In 1998 GPRS had not been rolled out, and the only mobile connectivity generally available was dial-up CSD (circuit switched data) with a maximum usable data rate of 9.6 kbps, which was slow (and unreliable) compared to home modems which by then were generally 56 kbps.
