    My opinion - Like the rear, dont like the front...wish they made it look like the concept.

    It is'nt too different to the concept, but the concept did look more muscular with some very nice angles to it, this one seems too 'rounded' for me.

    Glad they kept those shoulders though, thats one of the things I like about the s60

    Like the way they are restyling the range, like the look of the restyled C70 that will be coming out, just not that keen on the back...

    Thumbs down

    I'm saddened. The first thing I noticed is the similarity to the Honda in the pic on the right. Then I thought how similar that is to a Mazda,Mondeo,Insignia,Lexus IS........The only thing it doesn't resemble is a Volvo. Took them 10 or so years but F*rd have finally destroyed the indivuality that Volvo was famous for.

    The build quality on my S60 is superb. The doors give a nice heavy clunk.
    My dads V50 feels like it has been made out of easter egg packaging which I think is Fords legacy. I would hate to see the new S60 go this route. It is why I like Volvos.

    Sorry I'm late but Its absolutely horrible! Normally a cars look can grow on me but I cant see that happening with that. I'm sure it will be a good drive but by god does it look like your average joe.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again: It reeks of Mondeo. Especially the back end. The Mondeo looks like the Laguna. And on it goes... When will this madness end? In my opinion, new cars are either getting uglier or losing their individualitly.
