Dang, that’s awesome!!

looks coool!!!!

NICE!!!

That’s f—ing rad.

Very nice indeed!

A couple of articles ago everyone was bashing Volvo and poor Mister S-60 and now we are all weak in the knees with lust. What fickle automotive hearts have we.

not really, meanpants. it’s a different car.

Awesome! Volvo continues to be the bright light in Ford’s dim future (along with Mazda)!

That looks pretty slick. Very aggressive and I really like the “floating consoles” that Volvo has. I’d be very surprised if it actually looked that good when it comes out.

They took the Enclave’s Rim concept and applied it to Volvo.
Meanwhile Volvo is doing soo much better than Saab.

This looks like its going to be pretty close to production

Great design, but it’s all going to come down to the pricing…please Volvo, don’t put a $40,000 pricetag on this thing and alienate a large section of the market.

Volvo has and has always had some of the MOST impressive concepts around.

Wow….nice BMW.

Wow, Volvo is progressing with other Ford brands seem stagnant. It looks like it could be on a crossover platform?

Throw in the dual clutch tranny and let’s go for a spin.

Its a similar platform to the LR2 but with all the serious 4WD stuff pulled out.

Andre Neves is right. Volvo has always been very progressive when it comes to security and design ( well, more or less ) and furthermore has a history of implementing these features in real life. Maybe not always pretty or something where you’d shout “awesome”, but it’d be a derivative of the concept car we would have seen a couple of years back, as opposed to so many other airy concepts we’ve seen through the years and whose features never seemed to materialize anywhere.

Is it me, or is there a little Mondeo wagon concept in the foglight area?

Will you look at that dash!?!? Really nice..

It isn’t a BMW, Joseph. It’s a Volvo.

It looks nothing like a BMW!

Here i am!!!! WOW, I love it!! Especially with the taillights. So different and stylish.

it looks cool

give me a tiguan any day though!

or a Q5/Q3

Coming from an VW/Audi fan that isn’t surprising. Would you also want that famous VW reliability to go with your Tiguan? Both the Tiguan and the XC60 are nice, but I think they’ll appeal to different people, the XC is much more conservative (even in concept form). I’m not big on the Q7 so if it’s anything like the Q5/3 then I’ll pass on the Audi.

This looks based on the new Ford design. If you cover up the Volvo grille it looks like Ford’s new concept.

The rear end is a nice evolution for Volvo.

Northeasterner, I was thinking the exact same thing. Gota love that interior though!

Man this thing is so sweeet. now i want it with an i5 turbo.

Right on target! Good to see Volvo is getting back on track. I agree with others—the interior is killer.

ya im a vw/audi fan, so what, kiss my ass, ill keep it til the warranty is up and then buy a new one. And the Q5 and Q3 wont be like the Q7. The simple reason the Q7 is odd looking is because of its sheer length, and mildly odd looking tail end. I wont argue that the Allroad is a much better offer and that the US should have it, but the Q5 and Q3 will be awesome.

It’s based on the LR2, which in turn is based on the S80, which in turn is based on the C1 platform (Mazda3, S40, European Focus). 3.2L V6, it will compete with the X3 and will surely be in the upper $30k range.

Can’t quite figure out if the stack is like a monitor or if it is just fixed. If it is video-based then the screen could change based on the command, like a high end home theater remote. The anti-iDrive has arrived!

I’d like to know a little more about that diagram of the vehicle on the top of the center console. Is that possibly a new vehicular monitoring system that Volvo is developing?

I’m overjoyed that it isn’t just a plastic-clad V50.. perhaps Volvo is moving a little too much in the Euro-Ford styling vein, but since we don’t get the Euro Focus or Mondeo in the US, it should make an impact.

PLEASE, make it 1:1 with the one youre gonna sell. We all PROMISE, we’ll buy it!

Volvo has taken the art of “Ugly Car Ass” to a whole other plateau. Volvo is to Ugly Car Ass what Subaru’s Tribeca is to retarded grill design.

Dude, that center stack is SICK! I love it!

This is the first Volvo to keep my attention for more than 5 seconds. Schweet!

Surprisingly good.

I quite like it…Volvo seems to be evolving into a total different thing…i mean in the US (where they never had a good image). Here in Brazil they are in the same level as Audis, Bimmers and Benz.

Too binged out, otherwise it is nice.

I’m surprised after all the comments that no one has mentioned this vehicle’s familial resemblence to the Ford of Europe’s Mondeo X and a beefed up Mondeo wagon.

With that said, I think they are all great looking vehicles and this will most surely be a great evolution of the XC90 on the road today as I see TONS of them all over the place.

Really looking forward to seeing this at NAIAS in Jan. (and although I know the XC90 is an A-Plan Ford employees dream i.e., a great deal and still not driving a Ford. I do see tons of these all over the country during my work travels so it’s not just a myoptic Detroit view).

^ I do see a resemblance with the modeo. Your right.

David, you are now the fourth person in this thread to mention the resemblence to the Mondeo X (or Euro-Ford), starting with my question to all posters at about spot #18 above. Not being a smartass, just wondering why some posters don’t seem to read all the posts before commenting on them.

MikeFX… sorry man but dont think I was trying to steal your “foglight thunder.” I do make an effort to read most/all the posts and I guess yours fell off the radar in the mix of cuss words and “BMW’s rule” proclamations.

Very nice… Volvo has certain details like Audi that makes one wants to use it over and over again. The minimalist center stack is both modern and clean. I hope that makes it to the rest of their lines.

Volvo is **** next to GM. Check out a Chevy Equinox or Potiac Torrent if you want a real SUV. This thing is a pretender next to those.
Cheap imitaing pile of ****.

What??? Equinox and Torrent are SUVs???? I thought they are just wagons.
