DISQUS

flylyf: VOLVO S60 Concept

  • seefdublew · 11 months ago
    Volvo is succeeding only in making their cars indistinguishable from the rest of the market, when the historical appeal of the brand was their dissimilarity. Instead of building on their heritage by reinventing the straight line, they've festooned this thing from end to end with swoops and curlicues -- just like the Germans. All in all, it's a race to the bottom.

    Volvo has a reputation for great styling and awful mechanical performance. I owned two and they spent more time in the shop then on the road. I could not afford the maintenance and my next car was a Honda Accord, which I am very happy with

    The concept is gorgeous. I love that volvo is introducing some intense curvature into their styling, the rims however look as though they could be placed on any of the new Mazda concepts, maybe I need a closer shot.

    "Volvo has a reputation for great styling and awful mechanical performance."

    That's the first time I've ever heard that. I know several people that own old Volvos and they're all still runing, even though these people pretty much don't know cars at all.

    I can say that my family has had 3 Volvos. We all wish the 2 later ones (one 97 s70 and and one 98 s70) performed like the 91 wagon (not diesel, forgot the model number). It is still a great vehicle. I feel very safe in it. I do agree with the comment about declining quality. I sincerely wish it wasn't true, but I couldn't see ever buying a Volvo again, despite being such a staunch advocate for it for years.

    own a c30 r design and the paintwork is disgustingly thin but i would be tempted to but another volvo if they make the S60 it is simply stunning !!!
