If i 'm not mistaken this is the second facelift of the S60 but both were only minor ones. There is obvious improvement though on the car's body and interior. When is the all new S60 going to be released?

It's a great facelift and the interior is beautiful. It could do better with a sportier front.

Not much difference but it does look a bit sharper than the old one. Hope that spoiler is not standard, though. The seats look super-comfortable but otherwise the interior is showing its age.

It is pretty much the same. Volvo and their conservative facelifts won't move you but a degree in what you think of the car.

I am looking at the picture that Giannis posted of the interior. We do not have a good look, but those seats look pretty comfy and sporty.

 

[Giannis]

ok, sorry, my mistake, it's a facelift, not an whole new model.
1) the seats; yes, mike, they are very comfortable, trust me.. D:
2) yannis, i guess the new one will come in two or three years, i don't recal the volvo officials having said anything about that
3) even though it does look a bit sharper, yet it is only a minor fc, focused mainly on the driving part...
4) and yes, the interior starts to feel old. i've got bored of mine, even though it's very practical and nice...

The car looks good, but Volvos biggest problem is that their cars look all the same! S40 is like a small S60, and S60 is like a small S80. C'mon, little more imagination!

Hey, I can tell the differences between Volvos! Let's not start on Audi's model differentiation, eh?

I admit they're quite similar in appearance, but different enough for those who care to care.

All in all, I think the Volvo is still a nice enough car, but it is showing its age. Not one for the driving enthusiast, but still not too bad. I'm just eager for the next one to come.

 

[Michael]

I love Volvo's because they truly are built well. They are solid vehicles.

A very minor facelift, is this car going to get the new 6 cylinder engine?
