Maybe I drink too much but has anyone else noticed the similarities between the new shape v70 front end and Jaguar's XF saloon? What are the odds on the v70 appearing with Jag badges as an XF estate?
Well it would have if Ford had still been involved at Jaguar.
Maybe if Ford would sell Volvo off then Volvo would be able to style its own cars rather than what appears to be happening now. To my eyes at least Volvo seems to be picking up the crumbs of Ford's corporate styling output and as such are bland and derivative. S40 is Focus's plain cousin who never goes out. S80 is Mondeo's favourite aunt.
