Looks pretty sweet to me. It'll get either a transverse inline 6, putting out 235hp, or the 4.4L V8 from the XC90 putting out 311hp.
It'll be unveiled on Feb 28th in Geneva.

 

I really like it! Good timing for Volvo as well. There sales continued to slide for the month of January.

 

looks good, but whats with the shark fin thing on the roof, Ive seen them on BMWs, is it for aerodynamics?

 

Andy-

That's the antenna.

 

Pretty good.

 

Very nice! I love the sleek lines of it. Its amazing how the design of Volvo has changed in the past 15 years.

Although those old Estate wagons with the rear facing third row seat were the coolest. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nana.gif[/img]

Hmm i wonder where the lincoln MKS got its roofline and powertrain from, things that make you go [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/33.gif[/img]

 

Nice car, although I prefer the current S60. I really love the way it looks. What a contrast to my old 1975 245 wagon! Volvo is getting the styling and performance thing together, and that's good.

 

Looks really nice. Volvo has come a long way.
