A new S60 for the American market? That surprises me, since not long ago Volvo North America said they were going to cancel the S60. Volvo said the S60 was never in direct competition with the E-Class, 5 Series or Audi A6. Their S80 was a better model for competition, due to size, weight, features and performance.

straight up E-class front end much? the lights? comon now lol..... HOWEVER, i love the modern day volvos right now... i saw a new coupe version and the lines on that were beautiful. no more boxed up volvos :)

i admire volvos, especially the recent ones. but i am very disappointing with the disjointed driving qualities like the numb wooden steering feel. i hope they sorted out that problem with the latest s60. for now i'll stick with the 3-series.

Windows are a bit too small, rear a bit short and it will be a lot heavier than before. No thanks I stay with the old model

Now, where's the R version? it deserves one...
May I suggest a high output version of the T6 engine? tune to 330hp/250kw??
Compete against less hard core sport sedan like Audi S4, or the 335i??

I think the rear end is too short and there is really nothing special. The front end is just an XC60. Earlier Volvo didn't want to be 'trendy'. Just a simple elegant design with a perfect safety and luxury stuffs. But now this isn't elegent anymore :(

actually, the s60 is meant to battle the likes of the 3-series and the a4, while the s80 is just the right size to take on the 5-series and a6, according to volvo. we must remember those cars keep on growing in each and every dimension after each generation, so... the s60, which was slotted right between the 3er and 5er, now fits perfectly in comparision with the bloated entry level bimmer.

by the way, i really like the sizd of the current s40. it is big enough to be considered a 'real' car, but is still compact, nimble and driver-firendly in urban areas. the s40 is just the right size for me - even though i have chosen the xc60 for my ride - and i think other premium automakers should start building smaller sedans this size, which is how small and light the 3-series was back when it first became a hit. give us the 1-series sedan, the a1 sedan... maybe a mb bls four door coupe... =]

This car reminds me that Volvo and Renault merger so possible some decade ago. Look at that car now - it is a Laguna but better, costs more and feels smaller...beautiful.
Further: Look at my profile photos. There is a Laguna shot taken in angle close to the second pic of the S60.

Not bad but the front is like the one of Mercedes E, I mean the lights...

nice but i wonder if its the last real Volvo before Geely take over :-(

Dreadful thought indeed! You need a steely determination to go for anything Geely! Yuk! Remember Rover/MG's fate under Nanjing? Exactly!
