Default First pictures of the new Volvo XC60

Here are the first pictures of one of this year's most exciting new car models - the new Volvo XC60! "It's not only the safest Volvo ever. If you ask me, it's also the most stunning. Not a bad combination, is it?" says Volvo Cars President and CEO Fredrik Arp. The new XC60 has its premiere showing at the international car show in Geneva on March 4 and the first cars will reach dealers in Europe in autumn 2008

Having just go the Ford Magazine, it actually looks awfully like a Kuga, very, very much the same silhouette, door lines, door shapes, slightly modified rear side window, but almost a clone, the way that the old Wolseley Hornet and Riley Elf were Mini clones.
