It's a let-down. That back is so S40-ordinary.
It looks like it's lost all the nice lines the concept had.

That's what it looks like, a Chevrolet "Daewoo" Aveo/Nubira

I'm very dissapointed,
the concept was such a good looker though

Edit;
As long as they nailed the front (which they have), the rest of the car should be fine.
Why did you say that :eek:

What, because it has upright tailights? Golly. :rolleyes:

I just think the taillights look near identical as does the bootlid :)
Just my opinion though :) It's the first car that came to my mind.

The Aveo has a very similar rear, good find.
And I bet many others as well, how could they spoiled the concepts lovely ass to this genericness.
 
Dear Lord, what's up with that side profile? Looks like the designer sneezed a couple of times!

And what's up with Volvo badges lately...they make them so you can see them from miles.
 
The dipping shoulder line is to allow more metal at the corners for impact, but not adversely affect visibility. In other words, they are trying to avoid the "rolling pillbox" styling that has taken over the industry recently.

That being said, I hate it. The previous S60 was a far better looking, more elegant and understated car.
 
Those are not official shots.

They claim to be, Tekniikan Maailma is a very credible source. Isn't it the same as your's Teknikens v?rld?

I really, really do hope these aren't real but have no reason to think otherwise.
 
Dont think so, TV is published by Bonnier, TM by Yhtyneet Kuvalehdet. Those shots have not turned up on TV's website but they have driven the car around Copenhagen last week. Camo is still on but one can make out that he rear light cluster stretches across the tailgate aswell which they do not on the shots from TM. Also the grey strip is much narrower than on TM's shots and look just like the golden car Brenda spotted. It is highly unlikely the golden car is anything but the production model as it was caught during a TV-ad recording.

The other photos are renders as the windows don't even line up with the front and rear shots. The front shot makes it look like the car has a quarter window in the door, whereas the rear one make it look like it is a sixth window.
 
Now that you talk it through it looks pretty obvious that those pics I posted are fake. Great, there's still hope then.

Btw Air, Wikipedia tells me that our TM has originally nicked (the article uses verb lend) it's name from Teknikens V?rld but besides that there's no connection between them.
 
Volvo has released a preview on Youtube with blind artist E?ref Arma?an.

I remember that designer from one of the first episodes of Top Gear..interesting that he's still with them through the major styling direction chages.
 
That's an awesome video!

Yeah, I remember that too. Didn't they have some sort of "design off"?

Something like that maybe...they had on Ian Callum (i think) and the Volvo guy talking about car design. He showed a V70 and said the front looked like a sports car. :p The Volvo guy also talked about swedish chair design, and how it translated to cars...

Now that I have 2TB of space, I am re-downloading all of the old seasons that I had to previously delete due to storage space shortages.
