What I meant to say,before the archaically clunky programming of this forum took over,was that this thing is going to weigh over 1800 kgs in estate form,which is the one thats going to sell.
1800 kgs,think about it,over 300 kgs more than the saloon in 1.6 litre guise,thats 660 lbs or an unbelievable six hundredweight.
Something is not only wrong here , criminal deception is abroad.
Firstly,this is not a particularly roomy vehicle,although it must be said that what it sees as its peers are very bulky indeed.
Internally,which is the only dimension that matters,this is a medium/ large car.
With modern production know-how it would be a bit porky,in estate form,with any likely engine,at 1500kgs.
So where is all this extra 300 bags of sugar distributed?
It may be very rigid,but so was an Austin 1800,at a fraction of the weight.
I am prepared to bet anyone a grand that I could reduce the weight of this vehicle to 1500 kgs without detriment to anything that matters within a year,and all Citroen have to do is pay my reasonable consultancy fees and do exactly what I tell them to.
Since they quite clearly have nobody who can even approach this I shall expect a very speedy response from them.
I just hope its speedier than their response when my last Citroen hit warranty problems.
