I always found the bonnet to be too short on the new S80... However the interior is amazing, I love the design. Really this interior is gorgeous, with those clean but classy lines... Superb. Only the retractable GPS screen is not cleanly integrated, too bad.

Don't be so one sided, look outside the box. Volvo always had comfortable seats, shouldnt come as newsflash if someone find Volvo seats to be good. After my testdrive with Volvo S80 V8, I didnt want to get out of the car again.

Because you don't have to pay 10.000€ to get super-comfortable seats in a Volvo... The multicontour MB-seats are maybe even better, but they're so expensive that nobody takes them.

So Volvo has more comfortable seats in 99% of the comparisons you make. Only the S-Class has better seats in standard.

Facelift. The S80 must be doing very badly if you haven't seen them around.

Yes, but nothing important, the badge on the grill is bigger and it no longer sit inside a square. They have added more chrome trim on the lower air intake.
