There's a new XM

Post by russ92xmsed » Fri Aug 12, 2016 6:33 pm

There is a new XM ....technically...... But it's a Mitsubishi. sorry to disappoint. :oops: Their new soft reader thing, yet to be launched, is going to use XM as its name. It's an interesting choice considering the bad reputation the XM unfairly got.

Hopefully PSA had the nous to register XM as a reserved moniker. If not, then, well...
You can't (I believe) just go calling things Cortina, Cresta or Corniche . . . so XM ????
Bring on the lawyers.

Interesting naming given the Citroen C- Crosser is a Mitsubishi outlander.

Perhaps Mitsu have been granted rights to use the XM name on the basis that Citroen won't use it again.
