    I like my Volvos square! This is not square.

    Not that this is bad looking, but it just looks like every other Swedo-Chinese car on the road.

    I do have a question, though. If you flip the "Pedestrian Detection" switch to "evil," will the car seek out pedestrians and run them over? #volvos60

    Thats a nice looking Chevy Malibu.
    This thing us supposed to compete with the likes of the G37 and 335 for performance but when it comes down to it, the S60 is just a transverse front wheel driver with optional 4-wheel traction control halidex bullshit. Put rear drive or rear-biased 4wd in the car instead of that halidex crap and then we can talk. #volvos60

    @oddseth: I don't know if this will get Ford's RevoKnuckle (or whatever they're calling it) suspension up front (a la Focus RS), but word around town is that, with an LSD, it lets the FWD Focus RS hang with jsut about anything else, handling wise. #volvos60

    The pedestrian-avoidance technology has been sourced from the proven excellent application in Red Army tanks. It is especially effective when the pedestrian is carrying shopping bags. #volvos60

    @TurboBrick [LIGIER]: It did, but I think it's better-executed on the Volvo than the Buick. That pinch where the line kinks right at the door handle of the Lacrosse is very visually awkward. #volvos60

    @bmoreDLJ: The Buick crease was made as a very obvious nod to their classic design element from the 50's. You know, when their current customers bought their first Buicks.

    The Volvo line doesn't look bad, but makes me think that 20 years ago that ledge on top of the door was really firm and high (240). Then it started to soften out a bit with S80/S60 and now it's drooping down. You may draw your own anatomical parallels from that. #volvos60

    Too derivative. And how's the headroom in the back seat? Volvo's used to be roomy. Now what differentiates them? The car midgets prefer? #volvos60

    That beltline is sooo Chevy. I like the front end OK, but the rest of this looks like design by committee. #volvos60

    Will ingesting the interior plastics cause them to be metabolized into a chemical remarkably similar to GHB? That'd bring the sleepy back to Volvo. #volvos60

    fitting really, as it looks absolutely Chinese.

    What happened to Nordic austerity and rational, restrained design?

    @stoke: Maybe that had to do with the falling dollar and even S40 was priced at 30K and above with the prospect of mind-boggling depreciation.

    I saw they're not pushing 5yr bumper to bumper warraties with full maintenance on all new models. #volvos60

    @TurboBrick [LIGIER]: Good points all, but I think Volvo had gotten stale in the Euro-premium segment amid all the striking redesigns from Audi and BMW. Yes, the prices are high, but that's doubly damning when there isn't really anything enticing about the brand in a really tough marketplace. #volvos60

    @stoke: if Apple can do it, so can Volvo.

    I build and sell mid-century style furniture and there is a healthy market for high quality, rational and restrained design. #volvos60

    Your writing has flair, but the car has wheel flares as in "4 a : a spreading outward; also : a place or part that spreads b : an area of skin flush"
