    It's a spittin' image of the Volvo S60 concept car unveiled in Detroit earlier this year.

    Howsat?
    I'm trying to mentally reassemble the top, but I don't see too much resemblance past the front wheel (and general shared Volvo design cues)

    The "feeling of quality" is like the commercials that claim "reduces the APPEARANCE of fine lines and wrinkles." What a load of crap.

    @Timtoolman, now with power tools!: There's something to be said for the "feeling of quality." The wood console trim option is made from real wood (over a structural plastic base), apparently durable, and still feels like wood. It's very nice. On the other hand, overly polished and sealed wood can feel like plastic.

    @BЯдΖǐL-ЯЄРΘЯΤЄЯ: While I posses many fond memories of being driven to school in my grandparent's then-new 1989 Tempo, most of which are full of marvel at the futuristic layout of the interior where everything was powerized or motorized.. I do too have a soft spot for the 740 wagons and other brick-shaped Volvo wagons. Its engine had a distinct, almost Subaru Boxer sound.

    My wife the other day said that Volvos were among the only "masculine design" cars (until 1-2 generations ago). Interesting interpretation, and I tend to agree with her fine arts aesthetic background. But what the hell is this? They've really gone soft on us lately. Just another Euro jellybean.

    Aw. Was I the only one who liked the old Volvo design language? By which I mean, last couple of generations. I thought they all looked the same, but it was a nice look. This one looks like it's been at the spritzbaaken cookies. Kinda chubbly.

    @steelwheels: an eeror in every psot!: I almost bought one. 2 reasons why:


    1. 30k for the options I wanted=no deal.

    2. The brakes felt like a cheese grader. Too comfort based. It is straight sexy looking.
