Hello,

I don't know if anyone has seen the new S80 so here is a link:

Its not really a new one, but more of an update of the original. Looks quite nice IMHO.

Hmmmmm, looks like a cross between the current S80 and a beemer.

VERY bmw!!! *shakes head in despair* Why is every car a piggy back of another car these days and what happened to Volvo having their own ideas and own style?

However, I am looking forward to test driving it with the V8 engine!!

Fortunately the new one doesnt share a single part with the old one so not the same car in anyway apart from the D5 engine.

The car was put up against the new 5 series as a benchmark so will be good to drive and the interior is different to anything else on the road.

It does look similar to the BM/Audi crowd unfortunately but will wait till see it in the metal then make judgement!
