Volvo...........When did they get good looking?

[Terzo123]

Just saw an Ad for a Volvo S60 R design

Bloody hell it looks good, mind you it should do at 27k OTR

Have you seen the 780 Bertone? They have their moments.

[slippery]

I always thought that a red 850R was a handsome beast, so if you count that, they got good looking a long time ago.

Sorry i was being a bit flippant there.

Just taken aback at how good looking the new one is.

1961?


or 1976?

[y2blade]

^^^ I love both of those

The C30 is a cracking looking car, especially in T5 guise. I'm surprised there aren't more of them about.

I've always had a soft spot for the 480s, fabulously wedgy and left field styling. The C30 in the current range is a hell of a looker too, particularly in white.

Yes!

But no!

That's the worst example from the "where's the turret" era! Poor dog looks more than a little embarassed.

There was a creamy white one of those that used to kick about Lenzie in Glasgow. Was a stunning looking car

Absolutely. If I was looking for a car in that segment, there's not much else I'd consider over it.

And once they're 3 years old they're great value.

For some unknown reason I like pretty much every Volvo that's ever been made.

Although doing well with Twilight fans. Quite a few of them in and around Bath and we only changed ours due to the (im)practicalities of a baby.

Not sure about the 262.

But the 780 was lovely.

Looks like a cross-brace has been removed (or they haven't finished the suspension!).
