"Our new saloon will be a breath of fresh air we don"t do traditional anymore." The words of Citroen boss Linda Jackson, hinting at what we can expect from Citroen"s next large car, be it a new C5 or C6. "You have to adapt the Citroen Cactus mentality to each segment." Which seems rather brave, given large French saloons particularly those with a bit of styling frivolity about them traditionally don"t sell particularly well. But Jackson suggests the aim of Citroen"s next four-door isn"t necessarily to set the sales charts alight. "We don"t want to be a niche manufacturer. But we don"t want to be an SUV player only. To be credible you have to do small cars, large cars and SUVs," she says. Even when saloons aren"t big sellers nowadays?
