Please, give me examples of cars that have aged with dignity, those that graduated with honors despite coming from poverty?, those that did not allow themselves to be corrupted by public officials of bad nature?

Outside of joking, I would love to know and that you give what in your opinion would be some more examples and what it would mean to age with dignity.... I have a vague idea in humans and in music, but in cars... Did they stand the test of time? that today are even more than they were when new?

You can't possibly be serious....can you ?

It's amazing just how well the Volvo S/V90 has aged. With grace and dignity:

It looks fresh even in direct comparison with the Polestar 5. I'd love to see Volvo present an encore, maybe based on the underpinnings of the Polestar 5. A more traditional electric luxury 4 door sedan, so to speak. Save the lighting units and door handles, they wouldn't have to dig too deeply into the cosmetic case.

The S90 is a stunning looking saloon in real life, even better than in pics. The profile and proportions are really good for a FWD saloon.

On Sundays it is a bit difficult for me, but yes, it was a serious and honest question, I was curious to know if any attribute in particular defined that concept.

Few days ago I saw one in exact that colour and I thought, this car manages to look good, attractive and elegant, even after 6 years. It simply doesn’t get boring.

Okay, I'll entertain your question. Provided that I've actually grasped what you are talking about.

Automobiles that I find having enduring qualities of endearing, charming eye-appeal (in the context of "grace") and possessing an air of elegant noblesse (in the context of "dignity") span a wide range. Many Pininfarina and Bertone exercises (mostly Italian brands + selected Peugeot models) of the late 1960s/early 1970s', for example. Or the "original" Jaguar XJ sedans (Series I and II). The 1961-65 Lincoln Continental sedans. Even the original Citröen DS19 and later the CX. Frua-penned cars of the 1960s' and early 1970s' are another example (the Glas 2600/3000V8 coupes and Glas 1300/1600(BMW)/1700 GT). Or the Mercedes-Benz W111/112 SE 2 doors and the W100 600 SWB. More pedestrian ? The BMW 1600/2 and 02s'. Porsches in general never get old.

I could really go on and on and on...but I reckon that a lot of folks here wouldn't really want that after all :LOL: .

These are far more than just "old cars". I personally think that the Volvo S/V90s may just fall into that category as well.

This looks pretty damn incredible, I must say. Hope the tech is on par with its looks.

If this was an ICE vehicle, would you still say it looks incredible? I feel that the bar must be pretty low for EVs these days. It looks like a generic sporty crossover from my view. It's actually hard for me to believe it's going to start at $80k here. Perhaps when I see the rest I'll be wowed.

I'm somehow more excited to see the sister car next-gen XC90 BEV.

...and the Polestar 3 is really stoking my excitement regarding the upcoming Polestar 5 sedan and Polestar 4 SAC. And the Lotus Type 133 4 door GT could be really special.

I can see where you're coming from regarding the generic side things but, I must say, combined as a whole, this looks absolutely fantastic to my mind. Seems that from a design perspective Volvo-Polestar hardly put a foot wrong.
 
Although not being aware of the exact exterior dimensions of the Polestar 5, I recall having read that Polestar will specifically be targeting the Porsche Panamera demographic. Hence, I'm suspecting a car measuring a bit over 5000mm L, 1960mm W and 1400 mm H.

In any event, it appears to be shaping up very nicely indeed. We all know that the devil lies in the details. But Polestar has been proficient in getting those details very right in the past. That being said, we may be in store for the most visually alluring automobile in the luxury/sport 4 door segment. It will not only capture the glances of those interested in the Taycan/eTron GT and Panamera, but also EQS and i7 shoppers as well.
