So much interested in this car that the Volvo website has crashed since it was announced - today.

I am sure the official details will be posted here, by Coastal but I think it might be over in the news sections, so keep looking there as well.

I see a new section has been added, so I guess we will just have to debate it in here, for now. http://www.volvoxc.com/xc60/

Welcome to the Mazda CX-7...

Well, at least it's not a Mazda.

I think this vehicle deserves its own page in this forum. Whaddabout it mods?

Seeing as this is a distinct new vehicle, I agree!

This thread has been moved to the new forum. :)

You can always have opinions about what kind of car the new XC60 concept looks like. And you say: Audi and Mazda. But I think you are wrong ! !
The car has so many detail-similaryties with the new C30 that you rally can say it really is a Volvo (owned by Ford).
And the designer Steve Mattin has also managed to incorporate some nice details from Ford. ;-) The flat edges on the fenders (exactly like the new Mondeo), the headlights (Mondeo as well), the honeycomb air-intake in the front and the ford-design of the exhausts. On the inside nothing fordish can be seen.
So Theo, please don´t compare it with Audi. Compare it with Ford !

For comparison: http://www.autocult.com.au/Image.aspx?id=9262

Be well !

Looks a lot like many of the "butt-up" designs on the market now with the addition of XC accents. Funny, though, how they feel a need to use larger emblems to identify it. The 20" chrome wheels are tacky and not XC looking. Nice interior and accessories although I wonder how much will actually make it to production. Looks smaller than the XC70; is it meant to replace it?

Thanks for the link. Interesting video except for his annoying habit of saying "obviously." My wife would like to see those seats with the pony tail slot available now. I like the new simplified instrument panel... ;)

IMO the XC60 concept looks awesome! If it would be available right now, I would order one within the hour.

It looks like a Ford people carrier, funny that.

I like it. Reminds me of the Saab 9-3 wagon.

nice car...i love it..the wheels looks good..bearing should be of high quality like volvo wheel bearing (http://www.****************.com/volvowheelbearing.html) that allow the wheels to rotate with minimal friction, and support the vehicle’s weight so that it must be in near-perfect condition.

If when they build the XC60 it looks exactly like this concept, I will be going back to Sweden for ED to pick it up in the dead of winter, where I can drive up to the Ice hotel! I think it looks great.[thumbup]

The XC60 is just an awesome concept car, also in 3D.
