LOL..If it only looked like what it is in the pictures in the real life, looks like a jacked up sedan and nowhere like the coupe profile. The tyres looked skinny aswell for the proportions at least when looked from behind when spotted in Chennai. No clue about what is leadership is about the brand and the Indian market.

That one piece reduces the desirability factor of the car by a huge margin.

Don't think that's a huge deal breaker. Even the new 5 is the same.

Yuck!!! I completely agree. This is the first thing I noticed when I looked at both the pictures. The 5 series LWB version looks terrible with these flap type handles. Just look at the autocar video on Youtube. Also the high profile tyres give it a very non BMW-ish look, although comfort will go up.

Even after paying up a lot in taxes and costs for these brands, I feel they shortchange us in many ways.

That’s not even the worst feature about their cars. The interiors are absolute dog-crap, the power window switches are wack, and I don’t think the C3 Aircross had power folding mirrors (not sure, but it lacked some important function like that); list goes on…

The rear seems like Urus. The front though appears to be botched up

It actually looks funky. But, our Indian market isn't very open minded. Let's see if they can improve fit, finish and features. Otherwise it is just nother product doomed for failure. On a separate note, how many BHPians are aware that Citroen did a soft pull out of India? Most dealerships have shut down based on what I heard. It's not even out in mainstream media, but it seems they are not doing sales any more. Parts availability remains questionable. So does brand image and dealer network.
