| Re: [scans] AMS: BMW 520d vs. Volvo V70 D5 I've driven the new Volvo V70, while its a nice car for the money, its not a BMW. Yes, Im from Sweden

| Re: [scans] AMS: BMW 520d vs. Volvo V70 D5 5er, no doubt. I agree with Andreas. After seeing it IRL I can safely say it's still in a slightly lower class than the Germans. It offers good value for money though.  |

| Re: [scans] AMS: BMW 520d vs. Volvo V70 D5 The Volvo is visually more attractive but I think the better car is the BMW by far. That's also the impression I got from reading the review. Actually you don't need to read the review to come up with that.

| Re: [scans] AMS: BMW 520d vs. Volvo V70 D5 Regarding the Volvo design, many at my work drive Volvo but they arent impressed by how the new V70 look like. I have to agree with them, particulary the rear isnt very attractive.

 | Re: [scans] AMS: BMW 520d vs. Volvo V70 D5 I think that holistically the 5er is the better design. Also looks more modern which signifies how daring CHris Bangles design really was. I have always loved the 5er! Looks great as a sedan and great as a wagon. I don't like the rear of the Volvo. To much break light IMO. Doesn't combine nicely with the steep acsent of the rear. The BMW looks smoother and more visually aggresive. Need-less to say however, they are both nice cars and great buys respectively!
