Volvo XC 60 Shows Up Before Geneva

« » 2:27 AM 2-17-2008

Never really like "Motor Authority" as they usually just copy and paste without linking back to the source. But this time it looks like they got some Volvo XC 60 pictures.

Like the S80, quite nice on the ouside and the inside.

This place is is insane - the biggest complaint I hear in the Car Lounge is that VW's are too expensive when loaded up with options and yet when they want to decontent and lower the price, the complaints get even louder. You can't have it both ways.

Volvo does sell an XC90. So I doubt it could get too expensive. If this is EUCD, here's to hoping the Turbo 5 is shoved in there.

That's hideous!

All fellow members of the Roman senate hear me. Shall we continue to build palace after palace for the rich? Or shall we aspire to a more noble purpose and build decent housing for the poor? How does the senate vote?

Screw the poor!!!

Doesn't look too bad, but it's a shame they didn't keep the character of the concept, which looked a lot more distinctive and aggressive. But I bet a lot of moms out there will love it still.

And a pet peeve of mine - I'll never understand why some car interior designers would go with a cream or beige colored steering wheel. That thing is going to be a mess within a few months.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of overlap.

I like it. Looks a lot like the CX-7/9 though.

I kind of like it, but in typical Volvo fashion....what's it going to have a 220hp mouse running in a wheel?

Not so much the interior. Don't like the center stack driver slant.

The more I look at it, it looks like a CX-9 re-skin. Look at the back doors.

Seems like up until now, FoMoCo has done a pretty good job with keeping everything seperate between their brands. In other words, not a rebadge job. However, this reminds me of GM/Saab SUV development.

Like anything else in its class is really that much nicer?

Granted, the color combo above isn't exactly my cup of tea...but the interior looks good judging from the photo.

They need to squash down the back roof a bit more.

They don't share platforms. The CX-9 is CD3 based, whereas the XC60 is EUCD based.

Well if that is the final product, the greenhouse from start to finish looks exactly like the concept vehicle.

They aren't the same. A pillar is quite different where it meets the door/hood/fender. Rear side windows are different.

I suggest you check out pictures of the RAV4 and Ford Kuga, talk about two entirely different cars that have a very similar greenhouse.

I'm saying they look the same because Ford owns Volvo and Mazda, so sharing wouldn't be a susprise.

Exactly. Closely related to brahs (bros who consume a lot of pot, reggae, and longboards), brohams (surfer bros) and dudebros (fraternity bros).
