I can't talk spec/tech because I'm WAY too lazy to research this car. :icon17:
But after simply clicking and viewing the videos, I like what I see and hear. I think it's smooth, suttle and not over-done.

Problem isn't the car though, it's other cars. Kinda hard for me to keep a "mental smile" going, imagining it next to an '89 Accord (sorry Honda guys):p. If there were fewer "beaters" on the road, this Volvo and cars like it (Incoming model Mustang, A5, Fusion, etc) would shine pretty bright. I like how the second video said, "...the future is now." without ACTUALLY saying it :icon17:

looks like an audi.

Because LED? or because any car sold in europe must conform to the pedestrian protection standards?

Pedestrian Protection standards

no, just looks like they took an audi and put their badge and grill on it.

I like it, but I agree with ken. You could easily slap four rings on it and call it an Audi.

Yeah, Volvo is really coming up with some neat sh1t!

I hope they are FR and not wrong wheel drive
