Yeah this thing looks crappy right now. There aren't many wagons that I like, and it doesn't look like this is going to be one of them.
Its an SUV. Smaller version of the XC90.

If anything, it looks like a crossover. They call a Chrystler Pacifica an SUV/Crossover, but does that mean I don't call it what it is -- a minivan?
But have it your way. There aren't many SUVs that I like, but it doesn't look like this is going to be one of them.

Interesting Times article - thanks for the link!
The vehicle looks like doodoo - they've certainly come a long way in disguising the vehicles - I remember pics of the "Matsuo ZT80" - essentially bits of tape to disrupt the body lines..

Pasted from my rant about it last week:
The "R Design" is freaken retarded. First the "R" S60 and V70. They were total jokes. LX60 maybe. But the S60 and V70R were not performance oriented at all. So ok we get past that and now we have the "r design". Its a knock off of a slow car? WTF. I do not see the performance appeal of the R to begin with, but now they want to pawn off a car on me with even less HP and handling. Bill we need to sit down and have another talk. Volvo needs something and this was not it.

Posted in the wrong one. I'll past it there too. I litterally cannot say enough ho bad of an idea the "Re design" is. Conservative buyers who do not car about performance also do not care about aero packages. They people who do care want some balls to back it up

Sure, he'd probably bring back the 850T5-R, with 400 whp, stock.
I saw a guy with a brand new S80 two weeks ago and asked him how he liked it. He said it was ok but he liked his old Avalon better. Not a good sign.
I picked a pretty circuitous route and arguably cheated slightly, but I'm going to get there
