Hey, you can get a free downloadable game from the volvo Oz site with the GTR Evolution type dynamics, featuring the s60 concept. It is pretty good, about 600mb, two tracks, can use a wheel or keyboard. Did I mention it is free? and has volvos in it?? Has other models too (all volvo) but no R (grrr) probably coz they would put the concept to shame. But it’s free!

The Front end on that Volvo S60 looks a bit like the Vauxhall/Opel Insignia. Not like thats a bad thing, cause they are both (Volvo & Vauxhall) are good looking cars, hopefully the back of this car looks good as well

Looks a little Aston-ish.

when I went from the s60 to the xf, a friend remarked that all volvo drivers aspire to becoming jag drivers. there might be something in that. I saw other drawings of the s60 concept (in a caramel colour), and I might say that the darkness flatters it, though this might be a more advanced, and far better design.

I always thought the XF had a Volvo-esque look about it, not a bad thing of course, the new Volvos look great.

What do you mean the Jaguar XF looked like the Volvo Volk613? What Volvo?

The Jag XF looked like the Volvo and now the Volvo looks more like the Jag. I guess Tata din’t buy the drawing blueprints.

Mmmm, tasty. I still find it hard to believe I just said that about a Volvo.

I’m in heaven! Had an s60R, now have an xf. Looking to move my missus out of her s40T5, and (after being underwhelmed by the xc60 in the flesh) this looks the goods (in my totally uninformed, uneducated view). Volvo are really underrated, IMO, in looks and performance. The s40T5 would eat the standard 318, for the same price, but the three R’s – ride, ridicule, and resale – are still a problem for it. Here’s hoping that this one is good, and here’s hoping they build an R version (hah, not likely!)

Should have had your crystal balls out and known that Alex.
I totally agree with your comments esp the XF. Designers of car interiors have been far too traditional in their outlook or is that the buyers want a traditional look. Fords latest Fiesta IMO has a great stylish interior but still a klittle traditional. Fiat are also coming up with decent alternatives.
This looks like any other Volvo but with a few more curves.
Nice either way.

Sorry, I now see that the interior is only white to emphasise the crystal.

I’m not a fan of the white interior but I love the exterior, maybe even more than any other car in that segment right now, except the XF. Beautiful. Makes me wonder how practical the next V70 will be if Volvo keeps turning out these lovely cars. Volvo are really starting to change their cars to desirability over reliability and saftey (although they are that too, along with great build quality).
