Looks like a facelifted Citroen C6. Not bad, I guess.

Another big French car that will be sold at a discount and depreciate like a stone, built only to give the French corporals of industry an alternative to the Citroen C6.


Be a good cheap secondhand buy if you can hold your nerve on possible electrical gremlins.

Second generation Teana J32 Teana J32 Nissan revealed the new, redesigned Teana at the 2008 Bejing Auto Show.
