Video: Drunk driver drives his car up across the steps of the Serbian parliamentary buildingTo what lengths will you go to when you’re extremely low in sobriety and you’re just looking to do something that will get attention? For the driver of this Citroen C5, that question comes with an answer that a lot of us would never even dream of pulling off. After being cautioned by a Serbian police officer to err on the side of reason after already driving on the opposite side of the road, the intoxicated driver ended up deciding that driving on the wrong side of the road wasn’t fun enough. So, he took it up a notch and drove his car across the steps that lead to the entrance of the Serbian parliamentary building and parked his car on the other side of the parking lot. And as if what he did was something out of the ordinary, he got out of the car, locked it, and made a phone call! Maybe he wanted to tell whoever it was on the other end of the line about his merry exploits, an exploit, we believe, will end with him in cuffs and a night behind bars. Don’t follow his example kids! 2009 Citroen C5 IIThe new generation Citroen C5 comes with stronger personality, a more aggressive and sporty design, new engine line-up and improved dynamic performances.

Full details in the press release after the jump. Full story 2008 Citroen C5 by Musketier
Although it looks a bit weird for a German tuner to modify a French vehicle, this didn’t stop Musketier to unveil its new customization programme for the 2008 Citroen C5. The new kit consists in a front lip spoiler, new side skirts and a rear lip spoiler with integrated exhaust system.  In order to improve the stability of the vehicle the tuner added a new suspension system which lowers the car with up to 35 mm. Also a new set of 20 inch wheels was added. Under the hood the 2.2 HDI engine received a power boost of 37 hp, developing now 201 hp while the 2.7 V6 engine was boosted to 240 hp.

2008 Citreon C5 Tourer
At the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, open to the public between 6 and 16 March, Citroën is unveiling two new models: the C5 Tourer and the New Berlingo. The C5 Tourer is a variation on the new C5, combining style, space, functional design and performance, while the New Berlingo is an ultra-functional family car.  The C5 estate boasts elegant and dynamic exterior styling, with a stylish front end identical to that of the saloon and a rear end of determined, powerful appearance. The body style reveals a strong identity and real versatility.  The flowing profile of the C5 estate expresses a perfect balance. The vehicle is 4.83m long, 1.86m wide and 1.48m tall. The proportions are generous but the additional volume has no impact on the overall lines. Reflecting the sculpted design of the saloon, the rear end features geometric shapes that suggest width and convenience from a horizontal perspective, while maintaining an elegant and dynamic appearance. The new C5 estate expresses values that will appeal to customers looking for modern concepts tailored to their lifestyles. Full story
Citroen will use BMW engines Citroen announced that it will use BMW engines on its new models. Naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines will be employed which displace 1.4 to 1.6 liters. Sister company Peugeot is already employing BMW engines to power its 207 and 308 models. Although the Citroen models which will use the engines are unknown, WhatCar? claims that the Citroen C5 will be the first car to roll out with the new engine before 2010. Citroen will benefit from BMW’s EfficientDynamics engine stop-start technology which increases fuel efficiency and engine life. The manufacturer plans to equip all its cars with this technology in the near future.
