This car (and the V60) looks great. I'm sure I'll be seeing many of them around once they've been on sale for a while.

I agree, it's a looker!

i would say it's the best looking sedan currently for sale, inside and out.

She is a looker. I imagine it will be the same as most Volvos these days (flinty with crashy suspension ) but entertaining power delivery. I imagine the A4 has more sophisticated ride/handling.

Would be good to see a thorough shoot out between these two.

Looks like Volvo missed the memo on gaping grilles.

If only the legs matched the face.  I'd rather have a ugly styling challenged car with all the proper business bits than a looker that is mediocre to drive. 

These new Volvos look great but they leave me cold otherwise.  It's great that they still offer a wagon though.   :-\

Yeah they feel "cheap" when driving.

I think they absolutely nailed the sedan's styling - it may be the prettiest car in its class - whereas the wagon looks merely very nice. Maybe it will look different in person. Funny, as I find the opposite to be true of the x90 line, where the S90 looks very nice but the V90 is utterly gorgeous IMHO.

Nope, just saw the one that was on display during Harvest Jazz & Blues last month.

Just spent a week with a 2018 S90 T8, my first Volvo review, because PHEV. Looking forward to experience this platform, tech and style in something actually shorter than my Odyssey (neighbours and friends freaked out at the length of the S90).

So what do you think of the T8 powertrain?

Full report soon on autohebdo.net (aka the French side of Trader), being edited as we speak. Lovely Fall pics too  ;D

My reviews of the Civic and QX50 are live now, Fit should be soon. Look for my Micra Cup feature too while you're there. I've been busy  :)
