Topic: C5 was ahead of its time !

I know we have all said it, but its true, nearly 30 years later we are now seeing electric cars in our showrooms/on the road, but this little gem cost £28000.00 
Sadly we are'nt getting one in our showroom as only large city dealers will be to start off with, but after a few years when the roads are full electric cars Sir Clive will see the future he had dreamed of all them years ago

Would have been nice for it have option of pedlas to pull out for the kids, they could charge it and have some fun.

Which dealer is going to have one? I'm very tempted to try to arrange a test drive in it. It looks amazingly well put together.

I think it looks  expensive and more of that badged engineering!
Isn't it  basically and mitsubishi?

Shame Citroen are much better at styling their own cars.

I think it is proven that badge engineering is the way ahead - I remember working for Vauxhall in France at a Renault engineering centre and badging the vehicles - Renault - Vauxhall - Opel and Nissan !!! - All helps with the start up costs !

The pricing on all these electric cars is crazy. It's like an extra 10 to 15k for what is a cheap family car. I'd rather have a performance or luxury car and offset the cost compared to buying price.

As much as I love electric cars, I have to agree with vanpeebles - buy a second hand huge v8 and use the savings to buy the fuel

I agree its always better to have an older better standard of car than a new crap car.
