The C6 is a slightly enlarged C5 and that in turn is a Peugeot 407 with
a different skin. So is the C4 a brother to the Peugeot 307. They may
look different, but the technology is more more then less identical.
E.g. have a look at the engines... C5/C6=>407 and C4=>307 is the same
platform.

This isn't bad. I drove Peugeot bevore I became a Citroenist. Peugeot
builds good cars and - at least in germany - a Peugeot is much cheaper
then a VW but of equal quality. But today Citroen is just a brand. There
is nothing left from the extravagance and avant-garde that made up
Citroen until the era PSA.

VW / Audi / Skoda / Seat is the same. The Audi A3 and TT are based on
the Golf platform... (Some people, including me, call the TT a "racing
Golf". ;-) )

Hmm. True. From that point of view.
