2000 PREPARES THE GROUND FOR LARGE CITROËN SALES GROWTH IN 2001This year is set to be one of the most significant years for Citroën in Australia during its 72 year history here with the launch of the revolutionary Citroën C5 along with the new Citroën Xsara and the French car maker has prepared the ground with a strong sales increase of 16 per cent in 2000. "The figure would have been higher but for restricted supply of all our models," says Miles Williams, General Manager of Citroën Australia. "At one point we had more than 200 orders for the Berlingo, which is repeating its European success here in Australia; Xsara stocks were exhausted by end of the year pending the arrival of the new model and Xantia is in short supply with new Citroën C5 on the horizon." One of Europe's most creative and inventive car makers, Citroën is enjoying major sales growth in all the markets in which it competes, driven by a combination of strong mainstream models; vehicles such as the Berlingo that have set new bench marks in their class; inventive niche cars best illustrated by the Citroën Picasso and an impressive cast of new models, headlined by the Citroën C5. "There is no doubt that Citroën is enjoying one the strongest growth periods in its history," says Mr Williams. "And this is clearly reflected in out sales in 2000 and our plans for 2001."
