Title: New 2016 - Volvo S90 / V90
Post by: Mr.OmegaMan on 03 December 2015, 17:51:55
Not a bad looking car compared to the way new cars are looking these days anyway.

Not forgetting the V90 Estate (albeit the Polestar version - Autocar's impression of how the Volvo V90 Polestar might look)

That's one good looking fast estate car IMO, Especially if it'll look anything like that once its released :y

Obviously it would be the estate, in go faster white, with a V8...

Looks similar to a Mondeo.
Interior looks pretty good though. :y

Mondeo is a great looking car, as is this volvo (in the pics anyway).

The front isn't entirely convincing as there is too big a gap between the grille/lights and the next layer. Apart from that it looks just like the latest iteration of Volvo styling should.

And the interior is a huge improvement over the latest dungeons in German rivals.

Go on, push the boat out.

£3500 trade in for your Astra with a balance of £35000. :)

If this S90 / V90 Polestar whenever it's out is anything like the current V60 Polestar with the 3.0-litre straight-six turbocharged engine producing approx 345bhp with a rather impressive 0-60mph time of 5.0sec give or take... Should be interesting. No doubt it's going to have a silly price tag though probably around the New VXR8 money. The current V60 Polestar is priced at £49,775 ..so can only imagine the V90 price  :o

From other pictures I've seen I think there's different trims available, Glossy black being one of them  :y

Can't seem to find the picture now though..  :-\ .. Always a chance it could have been a mock up.

Just about every car looks like some other car these days. :-\

I used to be able to recognise just about every car on the road when I was a boy but they all look much the same now. :-\

Are you sure that's not your old habit of 'going solo' catching up with you do to the resultant failing eyesight?  ;D :y

I used to be able to recognise just about every car that pulled into the car park when I went dogging, but they all look much the same now. :-\
Even in the dark?

They always have. There's only so many ways of packaging the mechanical bits and then wrapping them with the style of the day.

I'm not sure about that, nick.

An Austin 1100 looked way different to a Ford Anglia.....even if they were both crap. ;D

Really? From the front: 7" round headlight in wings that dip down to the bonnet and a deep, wide grill between them; fairly flat body sides that run into low fins with upright taillights; steeply sloped boot. The only real difference is the rear roofline, which is something that Ford did for only 2 models.




Now compare a mk5 Cortina to a Mk2 Cavalier, mk1 Polo/Fiesta/Nova, mk1 Astra and mk3 Escort. Mk1 Escort/Avenger/Marina, or a Hillman Minx(Arrow type) to a mk2 Cortina - they could be twins. Superminx to a mk1 Cortina. Peugeot 404 to Austin Westminster. Any 30's car if you can't see the radiator grille.
