RBoy8 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Looks awesome . But yeah, the silver/chrome piece in the middle of the trunk also reminds me of a Malibu Maxx. Not bad though, I'm really digging the front headlights. Hmmm... front need either to me a bit lower or needs a more aggressive bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I'm glad Volvo finally went fully projector on their headlights, but the S80 front looks like the new Hyndai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C70drvr Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Needs at least 18" wheels, preferably 19". Other than that, HOT SEX! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon17 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 This car is great! Says V8 AWD on the back, right? I like the clean look of the interior and finally, Volvo decided to put chrome exhausts. Should've done that earlier though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachnut Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 So with the S80 being revamped I can only imagine that the S60/V70 is next. Anyone know anything about that? Rumors ... hearsay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumors ... hearsay?New 2007 S60/70 - New-generation ranges; said now to be built on the new 'C1' platform derived from Focus/S40/V50 etc, also shared with Mondeo, Freelander, D-MAX and perhaps even Jaguar models, rather than shortened versions of the S80/V90 underpinnings.

It is an extended C1 platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvo4lif3 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 lets not forget, volvo needs to have the 6 speed manual as a standard transmission, or at least as an option.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon17 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 lets not forget, volvo needs to have the 6 speed manual as a standard transmission, or at least as an option..I seriously doubt that the S80 sold in the US will have any type of manual transmission.

StickThatClutch Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 That is a really ugly shifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon17 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 That is a really ugly shifter.I agree with you there. Even the one I have (1999) is much better designed. Could they have been any more plain with the knob? No creativity whatsoever... Shame on you, Volvo! <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvoamg Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I like the exhaust and the overall looks. Too high off the ground at first, but the stock wheels look alright. At least it's not like that pontiac we all thought it was going to be. And look, cross bars on the grille, much like the man who did the Mercedes grille on here......V8 Baby. All that really needs to be said. And oh, AWD, at least no FWD on this mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gokartracer Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 In the second pic... it looks like a pontiac front headlight . but overall, it looks sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
