3-Series' biggest threat: New Volvo S60
http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1...vo-s60-preview
I have to admit. This is one of the best looking sedans I've seen in a while. It looks very different to everything else on the market. |

The S60 is a true rival to the 3 series in the normal sense, it will major on safety and enviornment instead of pure driving pleasure. This will be a great FAMILY car in the same way as I view the XC90 as one of the best SUVs to own.
Not struck on the looks though, I think this new design looks it's best in the XC60. |

not feeling the look. I honestly think there are lot of cars that can be considered rival to the 3 series in a general sense. even an accord v6 sedan is a competitor IMO.

If it drives like a Volvo it's not a competitor.

Looks nice and the curves are smooth but volvo hasn't been doing all that well for a while compared to the 3 main german companies (audi bmw benz)..... Plus there's vw and all the jpn cars as well..... Not gonna be easy for the little s60

ummm....i doubt it...afterall...its FWD....and it has a turning radius of the earth....(since Volvo mount their engines sideways).....
the look is ok...and i hate Volvo is going retro logo....i bet you will see the badge on the trunk will be "V O L V O" WTF....probably the good sleeper will be the S60R...if they bother to make them again.....

FWD. Enuff said. And it will be Chinese owned as soon as Ford sells Volvo. They used to be a worthwhile choice when they still made the S60R and V70R AWD. I used to have one. A decent sleeper. The safety card is really no longer up their sleeve. They are riding on a past legacy. And the great long lasting million mile Volvo is no more with modern electronics, cost cutting, and parts bin sharing, etc.. |

I will never understand why anyone wanting a sports car opts for a volvo.

I'll never understand the immaturity of some people on this board. Hopefully, some of the children here who find comments like this to be amusing will gain some perspective and understanding through personal experiences with people, like my son, who have intellectual disabilities. There is no humor in such 'jokes'.
Tha being said, the car is ugly. |
