Re: New Volvo S80

It doesn't look hugely different from todays model!

With a V8, I'm sure it will be fast!

Re: New Volvo S80

I think the wheels could have looked more suiting to the car. Looks nice though, and a V8, sweet.
I'll take one in black.

Re: New Volvo S80

Looks great. Some other photos were posted at CSS. God it looks so fresh and awesome. I like it. I have a feeling that my S60 is looking dated, although i just washed it With a V8 it would be great. If i was in a better financial situation (i just bought a house) i would consider selling the S60 and buying a new S80, but with the 2.0T engine.

PS. I JUST BECAME AN ADVOCATE!!!!

Re: New Volvo S80

Looks like an S60 with a front designed to comply with the pedestrian safety regulations.

Don't the wheels look too small?

Re: New Volvo S80

Looks kinda S60ish, albeit not much, looking closely the finer details give this car it's very own look. I'm sure this will be more aparent upon the cars offical press pics. Maybe Det.?

Re: New Volvo S80

Does anyone know which platform it's based on? Is it the new Ford Mondeo platform?
