| Re: Volvo XC60 @ 2008 Geneva Auto Show Lot of BMW influence going on in the side profile/styling. Still somewhat funny looking. M

| Re: Volvo XC60 @ 2008 Geneva Auto Show The XC60 concept had more potential than the prodiction version. Volvo all but killed it.

| Re: Volvo XC60 @ 2008 Geneva Auto Show This is one of those cars that I think would probably look better in person than in photo's, but I can't say for sure until I've had that experience. Overall though, this looks very very lazy. |

| Re: Volvo XC60 @ 2008 Geneva Auto Show i drove this thing today..  One guy i know works as a test driver for volvo and he called me and asked if i wanted to have some lunch and then come with him on some city safety drive.. Well the car looks amazingly good.. we did a round tour of gothenburg and visisted the BMW dealer..and compared it to the X3..and let me tell you..i take the volvo all day any day over the X3..inside out its just a better thought out and better looking car.. It had volvos version of distronic plus..wich stops the car to a standstill if the driver is sleeping or not payin attention.. I tried it on a parked car..and well i almost craped my self.. but it WORKS It had some lane assist system and a rearview camera with sensors.. So all in all a very plesant experinence..and it was kick ass to drive around town and see ppl staring and taking pictures and asking .. what is this..is this the new volvo Ohh and the car was black and it had stickers wich said test vehicle...hehehe PS I cant post pictures as i dont want my friend to get in trouble...

| Re: Volvo XC60 @ 2008 Geneva Auto Show The interior reminds me a lot of the Q7. The air vents looks to be straight off the Audi.
