Default Citroen cans Australia.

https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-new...ving-australia

Is this the start of established/legacy makers seeing a retreat from this market.
Who is next on the chopping block… Jeep, Honda, Fiat, Alfa Romeo. Renault, Maserati, Jaguar?

Chinese makers are ready to dump a whole lot of awkward and underwhelming looking vehicles into the market. Give it ten years and they’ll have the market covered, will have driven out financially struggling Euro and Asian brands and increased their prices to a level they know the market blindly accepts.

Won't be losing any sleep about seeing those clowns exit, France should stick to Olympics opening ceremonies,

I feel for their 3 customers here, I've only ever met one person who bought a new Citroen, the 'cactus' because he liked it's weird looks.

I’m disappointed.

It intrigues me that PSA never did anything like the way Ford licenced reproduction parts, they have lost potential millions on Dee and 2CV series vehicles.

I had the misfortune in a past life of having to drive a Berlingo for a work car.
Was just another insult from a shit company.

I am sure this won't be the last. There will be others to follow fairly soon I would think.

Default Re: Citroen cans Australia.

in part, I expect this is due to us still being a Euro5 market. RHD Eu5 is a tiny and shrinking market, and the cost of developing cars for us is likely now unsustainable.
