I had a Xantia for a while back in the day. Was quite nice. I think the XM was their flagship?
Looks like it was a windy day above too judging by his hair.

Brown Suit - Serious wardrobe malfunction.

Brown Suits probably better than the purple suits I was wearing in 1993 !

I had a bronze/rust colour suit made from some kind of short fur/cashmere cross material.
Probably would have been all over if I went near a flame!

What a great looking car. Funny at the time I didn't like the look (of the car or the suit) but now I love the car.

They are a Marmite appearance car. It takes some time to notice all the styling cues.
The fact that it appeared extreme at the time, but you like it now, shows how far ahead of it's time the design was.

The roofline into the top of the windows is taken from the DS. Obviously, the kick up is from the SM.
