Amazing how many people don't get this advert. It's a JOKE! Citroen is, of course, French but because it looks and drives brilliantly, this guy is assuming it's German. It's obviously aimed at a British/American/English-speaking audience, playing up to all the stupid stereotypes we have of Germany whilst having a laugh at the expense of France. It's not meant to be serious people come on!
A British film crew filming on a German filmset about a French car. It seems kinda crazy that Citroën knows that it's the Germans who are renown to make a solid car and are desperate to show that this new example could possibly match what a German car looks and feels like. But its still gonna be a Citroën underneath.

C5 is great super comfort car..not like germans cars..citroen lost honour with this commercial..many of citroen fans are angry..french car marked as german..bleach..never german car...
Klaus is very nice looking! The German accent is quite sexy, too. I love the car as well, although, I can't drive! This is definitely an ad for guys. Women would be too busy staring at Klaus to take much notice of the car.
if there is a face that just says german its his he has the most german features ive ever seen, if you no what i mean, sometimes you can just look at someone and tell where there from, if i saw him i no hed be a german! and yes us english do have a crazy and may i say fantastic sense of humour :P
Not historically accurate. André Citroen was of Dutch and Polish decent, and he died of stomach cancer. And I doubt if the family was as big as 200 :/ But yeah back on topic: I think it wouldnt pride a french car to be german...
@MadPyrotechnicus Its not just my opinion. :P C5 is quieter, more refined, smoother and more comfortable than new E class. It doesnt drive as well, its FWD not RWD, there's a bit more body roll in the corners (but still lot less than most steel-spring cars in class that are much less comfortable) and steering is not as precise. But as for sheer comfort, C5 is better. Also, the seats are as comfortable and offer more adjustment than in E class.
@derbigpr500 this discussion can be compared with a matress of a bed; some like it hard and some like it soft. It's about the same with a car. I drove several cars and I still find the E-Klasse much more comfortable.
its funny that the French have to clearly imitate something Teutonic in order for anybody to want to buy one! Citroen is a dying marque and the German association is their only effort to survive
His accent sounds German to me -- he's just very good at pronouncing Citroen the French way. The rest of his speech is very clearly Germanic-accented. (Says a Swede, so what do I know.:-)
