i read a short notice about that plan some days ago. no pics, so i thought a bit about a c6 in retro-style or something like that. but i was wrong.
i just have found this article:

a shortened translation: the writer is totally pissed and disappointed (not him alone, all the other guests, too). for him its an impudence, to present a small car "with a vw golf-front hood and a touch of of a kia soul" with this legendary name.

That's indeed disappointing after what was expected when they announced that

Its a hatchback!!
If they want to use an old Citroën name, let it be Visa or AX.

that's less prestigious

Re-using historic model names seems to be a bad habit with Citroën. The trouble I’ve had Googling Citroën C4 or C6 to identify 30s models and being inundated with images of contemporary models …

I think the new C6 is rather handsome. I'd want one if I was in Europe. The new DS, however, is a disappointment.

It is the small model of the DS range, i.e. the DS3
Maybe the DS5 will be great?
I also like the C6. I'd want one if I was rich

If they just had to use a classic name, they should have called it the Ami.
