Goodbye P2 S60, gone, but not forgotten.

It is often forgotten how successful this model was back in its heyday. It was one of the last true Volvo's developed without Ford and really and truly broke the mould for the company. It could also be argued that it was the influence behind 'four door coupes' such as the Mercedes CLS with its sloping roofline and overall coupe-like appearance.

Farewell P2 S60, you will never be forgotten!

It's even better, when the new one is launched we can bang on about how it's a Ford not a Volvo, how much worse the build quality is than the old S60, how all the new-fangled electronic gizmos will fail, etc, etc, etc
