No no no no no no no!
Whats happened? Why do Volvo have to keep making their cars look as boring as everything else?
If they carry on like this i can see me going off them in the future. Effin bloody Euro boxes! Booooorrrrriiiinnnngggg!
On a positive note, i do like the glowing centre-console display, thats pretty cool

cos they have to make the cars pedestrian friendly. When you drive over someone the round corners do less damage. Thats why they all look the same - round and boring.Dan the 480 Man wrote:No no no no no no no!

I think it looks like a ford focus on steroids and bigger wheels

Since Volvo is owned by Ford, the cars don't look as good as they once did. Every new Volvo now has some Ford and Mazda parts.
I think it'll be the same as the mazda CX9 or even the ford EDGE

Whats with the big stupid silver / chrome tacky plastic guards under the bumpers of newer cars at the front and back? They are tacky as hell. 
I also hate the way modern cars try to intergete chrome or silver into the styling with little bits here and there.. It's tacky, and just doesn't work with the modern design of vehicles.
The center console looks real slick, but it's only something to get smashed, broken, chipped etc And then it'll be stupid money to fix nevermind replace. Wouldn't surprise me if you even needed a 'special' Volvo branded 'cleaner' just to keep it good.
As somebody said, it just looks like a Ford Focus. I think somebody on here said a while ago about how cars have to meet certain requirements to pass the European approval or something, and that's why they all look the same with their big rounded front ends. And the Government wonders why people go for bigger cars?

its cool
will it be in production ? or just a study ?
I hate they are based on a landrover
Don't ask me why ...
I feel sad the swedes don't make their own cars no more
it looks not different enough . almost like a 3 series beemer from the side
In this part of europe people want to forbid large suvs to park in town. (nijmegen)
If I was asked.... these tractors have to be banned , exept for people who need em.
get a dig enlargement instead. pffff !!
design... is ok tho
