Volvo “round the world”

Just after showing you the first pictures of the upcoming Volvo XC60 concept compact SUV car, we found this video report on the car on Youtube! It’s well worth checking out — as I believe it shows some of the downsides of the XC60 too: the plastic-looking interior, the somewhat useless additions — and the arrogance of the design team…

I still like the car — but communication-wise, that wasn’t the best work in my humble opinion. Enjoy!

The market segment of the premium compact suvs has been dominated by BMW for quite some time now, seeing as their popular BMW X3 is the only REAL luxurious compact suv out there, especially on the European market. With the upcoming Audi Q5 and Mercedes GLK — it’ll be getting some stiff competition. Volvo is also working on a competitor, and from what I’ve seen it’s going to be an x3-killer. The Volvo XC60.

Ultimate safety — excellent design — luxurious iour (even though I don’t believe the white is the best option, but hey — it’s a concept car) — a look that reminds me of a Coupe a little bit — …

It’ll be with the dealers in 2009 — that’s only ONE year to go, baby! Go Volvo!
