WHOA!...is it just me or is Volvo and Mazda really on a stylistic roll! Vovlo is definitely coming out of the closet!

It definately is a beauty, but they need to change out those tail light ficxtures, they just bring me back to 1999. Change those and its golden.

Translated-

For a small, exclusive crowd of auto journalists, Volvo’s design manager Steve Mattin shared plans for the “new Volvo.” The big news is the disclosure of the design vision for the next generation S60

 

The new V70 and XC70 large wagons will continue to be the best sellers for Volvo. But just the opposite of what was believed for the sporty little S60 (I assume they mean the thought it would be cancelled). The design manager showed sketches of how the S60 will become more personal and confidant. The change is obvious. We have our own pictures to illustrate Mattin’s vision of Volvo’s future.

 

The face is what greets people first . Like it or not, the first impression registers with you. This is the same with cars, one sees it, takes it in and remembers it says Steve Mattin.

 

What is the new design DNA? It is clear that it shares much with the new XC60 The front grill will be accentuated further, the hoods characteristic diagonal V-form is strengthened via narrow oblong lights positioned in a slightly different angle just outside the grill uniting the sides with the front.

 

Much like the new V70 and XC70 the S60 will have the more spaced out version of the Volvo name on its upper trunk lid.

 

The new S60 is scheduled to be presented sometime in 2009 to 2010. We will have a longer article with preliminary engine information in July 2007.

Anyone have the scoop?

These are chops as someone from motorend pointed out:

 

Take a look at the rear door shut lines from pic 1 to pic 2. On the first pic, the shutline matches up with the 3/4 door window; on the second pic, it lines up with the window frame.

Pics aren't loading..

 

Were they the same as the red one posted on the Swedish site?

 

If it looked like that I'd buy one, take it home, and have sex with it every night.. :P

 

I agree, I don't think Volvo would build something that looks that good, and that sexy, but they should!!
