Remember the "German" Citroen C5 ad? It's actually true

Apparently life does imitate art. The Citroen C5 launched in the UK with an ad saying how it was just like a German car. Now it is rumoured that the next C5 could be made by Opel in Germany.

The tie up between Opel/Vauxhall and PSA Peugeot Citroen means most of their cars will eventually have common platforms. The plan being discussed at present would see production of the Astra leave Russelsheim in Germany (the HQ of Opel), and the space being taken up by the next generation C5 (presumably sharing a platform with the Insignia).
