Volvo ’s future designs will become increasingly bold, according to a report by Automotive News Europe. Volvo’s new head of design Steve Mattin, spoke with the news service, and explained the current situation at Volvo. “Volvo design is still a bit restrained,â€? he said. “It still can be developed and become more expressive.â€? Mattin formerly worked at Mercedes, where he penned such cars as the SLR McLaren . Mattin said he had no hand in the design of the C30 Concept — or any other current Volvo models — other than influencing the color scheme. Mattin said Volvo has a lot of great design elements — like bold shoulders and unique taillights — but there is still lots of room for further interpretation and addition. In September, Mattin was quoted as saying Volvo needed more distinctive headlights, such as those previewed on the 3CC concept (shown right).
