Looks quite a bit like a scaled down XC90, not surprisingly. More info to come when it becomes official!

Just based off looks they have another winner. Its harmless, will sell in droves. What a competitive segment!

They did a great job... it's beautiful. T5 seems par for the class, but the T6 seems awesome with the turbo/supercharged motor!

It wasn't quite doing it for me in the first pictures (Mike's "harmless" is quite apt), but the front end is actually kinda sexy by Volvo standards. They will indeed sell tons.

Volvo products, though, usually don't sell on looks. Their typical buyer-base tends to be older, automotively conservative, politically liberal, safety-oriented, and often associated with the teaching and college professions. Stereotype, yes......but also a fair amount of truth to it.

Pretty close to the stereotype of the Subaru owner...

Subie jocks, on the average, are probably younger than Volvo owners. A lot of young women tend to like them because of the security they provide in snow and winter conditions.

^Yup. Even VOLVO is offering upmarket engine options... 316 hp or 400 hp. Crazy.
