Does the 2008 Mercedes-Benz Brabus Bullit Black Arrow count?

The C6 was elegant and classy enough stock, they didn't have to screw it up like this.

casper - more pics? where.

Pat- yes, the wheels are a bit of a let down, but I think its fairly standard fitment, a little bit of a shame, but still an important point when a manufacture actually has the balls to join a trend.

Are the back wheels afraid of their own shadow? My 98 Passat has wheels that are closer to being flush to the wheel wells than this. I say "boo" to this one because I'd actually prefer the HHR because it looks like a higher quality build and doesn't follow along with a trend thats being dragged out too far.

I googled other photos before making my comments. They could have opted for more rubber, stretching the tires only exasperates the high offset and wrong size wheels. My monitor comment is aimed that there is a headrest monitor on one seat and not the other, it looks like they ran out of money. It should either have the 1 large center monitor, or 2 headrest monitors. It should also be recessed into the headrest which is very standard, not stick out 2 inches with a bulky cheap looking plastic surround.

It's a one-off car, this is how they say "this is what we're capable of" If you're going to try and break into the luxury market, you don't make the car look like you slapped it together with left over parts. The standard C6 looks very nice, the 'office' shouldn't exist it just brings down my opinion of Citroen

@ casper, your sweeping generalization based on a very VERY dark photo of the wheels, which actually look far superior to what one might find at pepboys (and what's so cheap about stretched tires? if anything they cost more to mount...) as for the monitor, maybe it's the perspective of the photo that has you complaining.

I love the styling on the new C6, *especially* the rear window and c-pillars (technically d-pillars?), they're really pushing the boundaries at citroen, and i love what they're doing. as for this particular office version, i like it quite a bit. i'm not necessarily one for the fad of matte paint jobs and black wheels, but they seem to have pulled this one off quite nicely. my favourite touch is the yellow parking lights as seen in the second photo (i'm a sucker for yellow lights)

It would be incredibly cool to see Citroen actually produce this model for general consumption

The entire car looks extremely cheap from the undersized, poorly fitted pepboys wheels (and stretched tires?) to the unsymmetrical single headrest monitor bulging out of it's place. I'm glad we don't have to look at the rear

Yeah it looks rather cool, it does seem they are aping the Brabus Bullit but that's no bad thing.

In regards to mention of Taxi 2 I think snoro was referring to the 605.

Yes, a Peugeot 406 if IIRC. Sadly I was stuck on a plane once when they showed the American re-make with Queen Latifah - that was painful to watch!
