looks far better, the current model is just to plain due to s40 front.

The taillights remind me a bit of the boomerangs of the pre-facelift Maserati 3200 GT...

Distinctive evolution ... the designers have managed to retain the same high class appearance but still give it a fresh look ... well done Volvo.

Either I'm drunk and think that a Volvo is good looking for once, or it really has got better aesthetically!

I thought it looked good, until you realise the front looks like a Chevy Impala, particularly in that red, and that's definitely not a good thing.

looks alright, i still think it looks akward though, IMO only 2 seaters (and the Infiniti) look good w/ the hardtop.

If it was made by Volkswagen they'd say it's a completely new model.

I like the front better. The back reminds me of an Oldsmobile Intrigue, not necessarily a positive association. While I've owned and enjoyed Volvos in the past, this one looks pretty portly. With FWD and no sunroof, I think I prefer the Eos, which will probably get a facelift too before too long.

good job, volvo... looks better, fresher and sexier... but still looks like a volvo. looks well proportionate too, while the current generation seems to have a bit of a short chin... maybe it's just me, but the c70 looks too big from the back for such a short c30 front end, doesnt it?

looks like a cross between a modern buick and a '90 Taurus in front, what is with the wimpy jellybean shape.

the head lights shouldn't be that big because the bumper is small and even for the tail light it should be thinner,if you look at the whole cars you will notice that it's small so that why it's doesn't fit well. and it's not classy as 2009 model ......
