The only 607, I remember, is a light green metallic Coupé, which belongs to a neighbour of my mother-in-law.

My wife's uncle is a convinced Citroen-driver. He likes the comfort - and the reliability. Hard to believe, but he said, that he's Citroen-driver since over 30 years (CX, than XM and since last year a C5), and he never had a breakdown. Even the use of a horse-trailer hasn't caused any problems during the years.

My father never had any problem with the '91 XM that he had for 1½ year, but the guy who got the car after him had lots of problems (according to my father, that guy was driving too slowly for such car :grin: )

About the 607, what do you mean by a coupé? :figti:

Btw I saw a silver/light blue 607 today.

Yes, today I saw my first 607, a silver one at a petrol station. If it hadn't been for this thread, I wouldn't have taken any notice.

Ah, that is the replacement for the Vectra if I am not mistaken? Which probably means we will get a version of that as the second generation Saturn Aura and maybe even as Malibu and G6.

As far as if I like it... I'm not so sure. :ohwell:
This is the same car, right? It looks kind of Malibu-ish in the front.

This view makes it looks ok I guess, but I am not fond of that sweeping body crease on the side. The rear reminds me of a Mercedes.

I don't know, it just seems a little too angular for me.
But at least it has an respectable amount of rear overhang for its size, which is my main issue with newer cars.

Boy, I sure sound like a design critic right now don't I? :grin:

My suspicions are confirmed, the US will indeed be getting this car in the next few years, in quite a few different versions too. As quoted from wikipedia:

The Epsilon II will be used in the following vehicles:

2008 Opel Insignia
2009 Saab 9-5
2010 Buick LaCrosse
2011 Saturn Aura
2011 Pontiac G6
2012 Chevy Malibu

@antp: isn't the 607 also available as a Coupé?

Or should I have confused it with a 407?

I too like the 607. Maybe you'd be interested in some of these 607 ads.

If I find one again at 3 € or so, I can buy it and send it to you :wink: Maybe I'll go next week where I found mine, so if I find another one I'll get it.


Unfortunately I did not find a 607 :ohwell: So this will maybe be for a next time, unless you find one on Ebay for a good price.
