Rumour has
it that Citroën's flagship XM will not be
replaced, other rumours have it that there
will be a new car in either 2001 or 2002, that
it will have a new state of the art,
decentralised hydraulic system utilising
variable viscosity hydraulic fluid (the
viscosity is altered by passing an electrical
current through the fluid), that it will
employ conventional steel springs, that it
will be rear wheel drive or maybe front wheel
drive.
It is
likely that in order to reduce costs, the
platform will be shared with a new
top-of-the-range Peugeot or it may even use a
lengthened Xantia replacement floorpan.
Projet Y5
is the codename for the XM replacement and the
illustrations on the left have appeared in
numerous motoring magazines purporting to
depict what the new car might look like.
The truth
may actually be far more radical than anyone
envisaged...
