European Car of the Year 1990 - Citroën XM ( Luxury Car from 90s)
Launched on 23 May 1989,the XM was the modern iteration of the Big Citroën, a flagship saloon replacement for the Citroën CX. It went on sale in its native France immediately afterwards, and was available in right-hand drive on the UK market from October 1989.
The XM estate was launched in the spring of 1991, until which time the estate version of the CX remained in production.
The XM inherited a loyal global customer base of executive class customers and a clear brand image, but did not enjoy the commercial success and iconic status of its predecessors, the CX and the DS, which both raised the bar of automotive performance for other manufacturers.[6]
With total sales over its lifetime of just 330,000 units in 11 years, and the fact that its replacement Citroën C6 was not launched until the end of 2005 (despite being scheduled for launch in 2001), the XM might be considered a failure. By the second half of the 1990s, sales were in sharp decline, but Citroen did not end production of the car until 2000.
Despite its common roots with the Peugeot 605, the XM may still emerge as a collectible car, as the DS and CX both did.

330,000 units sold over 11 years from 1989 to 2000. That's an average of 30,000 Citroën XM / year. Citroën was aiming at selling at least a million over 10 years. The low sales numbers broke the company and they finally got bought out by Peugeot. That's really too bad because I thought the XM was Citroën's best design to that point. The lines were clean, the interior was simple but luxurious. The Hydractive suspension under microprocessor control was at least a decade ahead of everyone else technologically. What happened? 😕

Citroen was bought by Peugeout in the 70's my dude after the petrol crisis. But yeah I agree,i'm not happy that only 300k ish units were sold in 11 years. Still suprisingly,Citroen kept going for a long time,which is quite good. They did almost the same thing with the C6,but it had a lot less sales sadly. Anyways,more XM & C6's for me! :D

People dislike perfection and went for more noisy and stiffer German cars instead.
