German Car Zone

Something about that picture just doesn't look right. The wheels look funny as does the whole picture itself.

Yeah I was a little bit skeptic at first myself. Especially since the car has different license plates. Either way I went on to website for the Swedish DMV to check the plates and the cars are owned by Volvo but it states that the colour of them is white.

But it does look like the real deal.

Maybe its a scanned brochure picture?

Here you go, some bigger pics for you people :

Exterior looks ok but interior...

Exterior is decent but I don't get why Volvo are till retarded. They introduce their new cars with unpainted cladding, and later on when the cars are facelifted painted cladding becomes standard. Blasphemy for a luxury car brand! I still find the GLK to be hotter.

Don't like it at all. Volvo definitely can't do a good suv.

There is a strong BMW influence in it, the sideline and some design parts are very "flame surfacing". But unlike BMWs, it looks plain, soft, almost fat.
The little neon-like bit of light near the headlamps is original...

The interior: wow wow wow...I love Volvos interior, S40 is very cool and zen, and the new S60/S80 have an interior I absolutely adore.

But what is that here? Must be a bad joke. I just can't find anything Volvo in it apart the wood treatment, climate controls and speedo. I can't find anything good in this whole interior!!!

This is completely messed-up. Completely. It is a total failure.
It is the only actual Volvo I don't like at all. In fact i find it disastrous...

I've noticed that as well Raol. The rear is top notch but as you go along the sides towards the front there are traces of lost motivation, boldness and creativity in the design team. I dislike the front bumper as well, there's something odd about it.

Still don't like the exterior design, the side profile has too much of the the Saab 9-3 combie. The interior design is growing on me, I think it is just right, it is nice and simple but not boring and not over the top.

The front reminds me of a Lexus...

But I think these pictures are just terrible though. In terms of combo choices, they couldn't have gone further from what I would pick. The exterior is a bronze/brown color which is utterly unattractive and the interior looks like a pimp mobile with wood. I'll reserve my judgment.
