More that one year later, I "up" this topic to add an interesting link:
A Citroën on Ebay, which is actually as CXA as it is a 1987 model:

On the pictures the CXA logo is well visible.

Nice Spot! And now find the first one in a movie... 
I actually got a mail from a US guy some days ago, who had imported a GSA from France to Southern California... remarkable too...
Have you seen the Question and answer:

Q: hi. nice CXA and i hope it that it gets a good home. a nit- picking point to your description: CXA did not have to be federalized as they were imported (from CXA in Holland) fully compliant to US specs. The conversions were well thought out and of very high quality, as compared to the troublesome CINA- inported cars. Tell the next owner to give it the proper care, and it will last another 20 years with no problem. good luck, kenny Mar-06-07
A: Thanks for the correction Kenny!
They where actually converted in Holland

And now find the first one in a movie...According to this site there's one featured in Mo' Better Blues. But I can't confirm.
Edit: well.. at least there's a CX:
I found this article in Car and Driver (April 1993) and thought I'd share it with you guys. It's about the Citroen XM. I'm surprised it gets pretty bad gas mileage from a 3.0L OHC V6 (15/21). I mean this car is roughly the same weight, but slightly smaller than a Ford Taurus and it has a 3.0L OHV V6 that gets 20/29.
Nice ! Thank you very much for these pages
About the consumption, it is possible. I remember that early XM had not a so good MPG. Do not forget that here such car is in the upper category, unlike what the Taurus is in USA, so I suppose that the fuel economy is not much a big problem.
Anyway, here the 2.0 version was much more common, and also the Diesel versions.

Thanks qwerty, that makes very good reading
That Car and Driver article was an intresting read 
You're welcome. I bought that issue for a different article and just thought as long as I was scanning stuff in I'd scan that one too.
