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

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.

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

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

Hi

Have you info on the actual price?

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.....
