So would we say thats a 5 door hatch similar to an A3, or 1 series?

But then were would that leave the C30 surely it has got to be bigger. although that boot doesn't look anywhere near as big as the old V40.

irishcarfan Feb 23rd, 2012 22:32

bleh. I'm not fancy enough for that :D

Yeah I think Jacoby wanted the '5-door hatch', and put the next XC90 on ice. A good move, I think, as the XC90 is still selling well according to the annual report 2011.

Is the swoopy bit on the back door a nod to the P1800?:lightbulb:

volvorocks Feb 23rd, 2012 22:40

Any of us in here like it enough to buy it?

I would.

Regards

Kenzo Feb 24th, 2012 00:29

While I have the mutt, boot space is high on my "need" list so probably not.

Without Holly, I'd be very tempted.

Wouldn't imagine, looking at the photos that the boot is going to be very large though.

tt82 Feb 24th, 2012 14:52

No, thats why I said probably not.

It does remind me very much of a Focus though, to the point that when I was following a Focus earlier, I could swear the boot lids would be interchangeable.

Kenzo Feb 26th, 2012 22:24

More pics HERE

Brodick Feb 26th, 2012 22:25

I'm sure some of you (if not all) will have seen this but I thought
I would post it anyway.

Its only me, who thinks that it looks like fiesta from the back?

Anadinolin Feb 28th, 2012 08:02

I have mixed feelings about this car, from the pictures it looks like its tall and is just another XC60 but its purpose is to compete with the likes of the focus or the mondeo? i would probably like it more if i saw it in the flesh...i like the front look very much, the back...eeehhh

Pedestrian air bag, start/stop even with every engine and transmission...

irishcarfan Feb 28th, 2012 15:09

I think I'm in the middle of doing a 180 degree u-turn regarding my opinion of this car. I hated it when I saw the picture the other day, but now that I am seeing more pictures of it on the move etc., and reading about its features, I think Volvo are onto a winner. It looks ultra modern.

Might be a bit of a tour de force from Volvo, wish it was cheaper though.

I'm sure Volvo will be thrilled to hear I've changed my mind :D

Hi

I suspect 20k?

Have you info on the actual price?

Regards

swedishandgerman Feb 28th, 2012 15:52

I just want to know the £££'s!

I have dreadful feeling that when my Contract Hire on my S40 comes up in April next year, this is going to be too much and my company won't let me stay within the Volvo fold

Please let luck be on my side! I sincerely don't want to be in a Skoda or VW like all my colleagues drive.....

Take a look at V60 pricing when you change.Reasonable.

Hi there, sorry no info - just read it on a few sites, speculation rather than fact, probably based on the current S40/V50 pricing.

http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsAr...llCars/261510/

Suggest £19k here, and I read the same elsewhere, but can't think where!

Thanks for this.

First time I have read any indication of price.

Just over 19k seems about right with what I have "on the grapevine" been informed. ;)

Anadinolin Mar 9th, 2012 15:36
