To me DS5 makes little sense because it is going to be more expensive than excellent C5. If they at least offered improved suspension compared to C4, or AWD, i would see the point... but you are buying an really really nice C4 and are supposed to pay 3 series price for it.
It'll also make a great long-distance cruiser.
The DS5 isn't listed yet on the German Citroen website.

except the C5 is larger in every way than DS5 :-).
DS5 is based on Peugeot 3008. It is one size smaller than C5.
Thats why I thought it would have been smarter to make it an SUV, instead of whatever it is right now. I think 3008 is great looking (but again, no AWD which is ... weird).

DS5 is class larger. Literally it is like Rav4 SUV smashed down into coupe mpv looking thingy.
I really do believe that they should have made it an X1 competition... just raise it a bit and offer AWD.

Being the first production full-hybrid to combine diesel and electric powers, this car seems just about perfect in every way. 200hp, roomy, practical, AWD, stylish, mileage comparable to a Prius, lots of intriguing designs in the details. Just about perfect. Too bad it will probably never come to the Stateside.

I am not even considering the hybrid to exist until at least one year passes and forums are clean of any major issues. If Koreans cant do Hybrids that dont break, I would be very worried about french.
