    Got to agree Volvo are starting to loose there routes, its the new headlamps and grills that seem to be putting me off.

    I really quite like that. In black it looks really sleek - I just wish the engine/tranny choices were better. The bi-turbo D5 is the one to watch IMHO.

    looks terrible, only have to hope the next v70 doesn't take on the droopy nose, or the dodgy lines.

    I love it, i think it looks like the "other" cars like the Mondeo's and the Renault's should of looked like. It p**ses all over the older shape like mine

    If i had the cash, Id buy one in a shot. I wonder what it'll be like in 10yrs time??

    Its nice to see the "Gay Gold" coming back aswell
    Thankyou, Goodnight....much love

    I personally love the looks and I think it is going to be a really good car. I agree, Volvo has lost the 'Volvo-ness" from its design, but I do believe that it is a good move in some respects. Its a shame they have not done a T6 with a manual 6 speeder or even a DSG type gearbox. That would be great also.
