Good, the more unpopular it is, the cheaper it will be on the used market wink

Looks like a smaller V90.

That'll do for me!

I think he is wrong too...suspect they may be colour and wheel sensitive though.

Rear end is a mess. Interior is absolutely gorgeous. Given that you only see the interior when driving it, well...

Looks good to me. Interested to see what the S60 looks like...

Like that a lot.

Was looking at leasing a V60 so will hold out for the new shape I think.

Mind you, there might be some good deals to be had on the current/old model!

To be honest, you won't go wrong with the current model. The interior is a little dated but I wouldn't pay too much more just for the sake of a nicer interior.

But I really do like the new one! It will be my next motor but I'm holding onto my 5-pot V60 for a while longer.

The new generation of Volvos look fantastic in and out. The blonde interior, for me, is the best looking interior in almost any mainstream car. The only shame is they don't offer it in R-Design spec. That said, I'm really looking forward to picking up my cheapo V90 R-Design lease!

yes

I saw a new V90 Cross Country today and it's a great looking car. I do think though that the driver probably found it a bit strange to see admiring glances coming from someone wearing jogging bottoms! laugh

I think Volvo are getting it absolutely spot on at the moment, save for all this 4 cylinder nonsense.

I’ve coveted the V90 since it came out, although to me it looks slightly ungainly (especially in saloon form), I can’t quite put my finger on why - Perhaps it’s just a class to big for me.

I think the design ideas from the V90 have translated REALLY well into the new V60 - proportionally it looks spot on to me.

Recently looked at getting a v60 but have now ruled it out as the boot is not that big considering.

I think the boot space is not much smaller than the V90, and is a little bigger than the likes of the A4, C-Class, 3 series etc.

Take a look at what the Volvo forum members are saying:

Sorry I didn’t really make it clear!

The boot opening height is just under 700mm and the roof line isn’t that much taller so our two dogs won’t be able to sit in there that easily as they are quite big.

I am really disappointed as I do like the car, especially now it has had a revamp.
