C6 axed in UK & Ireland

Post by Ciaran » Tue Jun 12, 2012 10:26 pm

Well this sucks :(

So that's it then... no more C6, no hydraulics, focusing on the 'DS' lineup with Peugeot Audi suspension.

I'll say something, if I'm going back to steel sprung blandness it won't be in a Peutroen.

I think the C6 stopped production a while back, a shame but it was never a big seller so I can see why.

They still offer the hydraulic C5s in Exclusive and automatic versions, not sure for how long though.

It is true, with the lack of hydropneumatic suspension, I'll probably be looking elsewhere in the future.

Without the hydropnumatics they are little different to most other cars now - shame :(

Especially with peugeot interior switchgear.

I love unbissed reporting...
Up until recently, the sole model on sale in the UK – the 3.0 HDi V6 diesel – cost £40,160. At that price the car could not compete with its German rivals from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

By contrast, secondhand values for early cars are now around the £5,000 mark.
If they can find me a straight HDi for £5k, I'll buy it immediately.

Does the axeing of the C6 in the UK now mean that the values of XMs will see an upward trend?

I doubt there will be any connection, but do see it firming the prices of C6.
