Just a few hours ago we brought you a scanned brochure of the Citroen C5 II that was supposed to be launched tomorrow, and now the first official images started to surface on the internet.

The C5 is built on the PSA’s upper-medium platform 3, which also underpins the Citroen C6 flagship and the Peugeot 407. The C5 II replaces a version that was introduced in late 2000.

Only one word to describe the new C5: "magnifique!"
