Nope, I wasn't joking... I hadn't read up on it yet.
So it is a Focus. Not bad. Maybe it'll even be reasonably priced for a Volvo!

I talked to the guys at Volvo and this is coming, I asked about it when I bought my S40.
Apparently, they are planning a T version (ie: turbo)...... as that will be an option. As for pricing, yeah I'm sure it'll be in the mid to high 30's.

Hmm I will admit I really like it, more so the rear as it's very bold an yet very suttle in the volvo manners, but wow I really like it. hmm well my Focus will be paid off next year so that might be something I might have to test drive when I go looking for a new car when I put the Focus away.

I just don't like the back hatch...
you have all these upswept lines and suddenly, at the back, it takes a dump...
I'm all for throw-backs, but it looks like 2 different cars depending on which end you're looking at...

Ditto. Sexy car, hate the rear end. Volvo will overprice it to the point where it'll only be driven by asian kids and old farts looking for quality economy.

I like the rear end of the new Volvo. I think it is the only thing that makes this car distinctive from all the other bland sedans.
It kind of reminds me of this early seventies Volvo:

It's kinda Subaruish looking.
And the truth be known, I think it's a nice looking car and I like the rear end and interior.
Who knew.
