RE: New A6 Avant vs. MB New EClass T Model vs VW New Passat Estate

Citroen XM Break is an absolute record beater. I don't remember certain
numbers on trunk capacity right now, but it's _huge_. It looks
impressive both inside and out, it's fast and the ride quality is out of
this world. Probably first on my "what would I be driving if not an
Audi" list. I read an comparision of the XM Break Turbodiesel and MB
200TE performed by German journalists. They were quite shocked to
discover that the XM won in _all_ the categories (interior space,
comfort, handling, performance, costs).
