This is by far one of the most beautiful Volvo's I've seen. It seems like Volvo has finally found its 'look'. Just one drawback; its too plain looking, just like a more curvier XC 90. I think they could've been more innovative with the design.

the concept looked better. i dunno why they always tone down the concept car for productions. looking good there, however i dont like the curved shoulder line (door body / window).

Black often looks elegant and sexy but on the other hand it swallows away part of the sculptural design when compared to lighter hues, and if the car lacks chromed windows contour it looks like some amorphous mass, plus up to 50% more heat in summer...

Not bad but dÃ©jÃ -vu, and the C pillar designs looks too much like Saab's 9-3 Combi. Those winter tires look unstoppable (iow snow fun).

I agree with MB.65, but personally, I would never associate terms 'innovative design' and 'Volvo'. Maybe it's just me.

I was excited when the new V70 came out but was very dissapointed that US models only gor 3.2 FWD (no turbo or AWD). When the concept XC60 came out, I was worried they would do the same, which wouldn't compete well here. 280 hp T6 AWD in a quicky sporty package. Now we're talking. Can't wait for it to arrive and test it out. If it drives as good as it looks, then I've found my next vehicle.

They tone down the concept because of the costs of production of the prototypes..... thats the only reason why.... they are not concerned about costs when doing the concepts.... But in the production ones they have to adjust the car to the "real life".
