Default New Volvo C70

Anyone else thinks it looks a bit like an R34 Skyline from the front ?

It's a little similar but much better looking than the Skyline.

Am I the only one who sees parallels between the new Focus and the Volvo S40/C70?

I know they're sharing engines now (as Ford have owned Volvo for ages) so I was wondering if the new C70 (which looking at it has the same front end as the S40) will be Volvo's version of the intended Ford Focus Vignale (convertible) that's going to be coming out?

Where's the advert filmed where they are in the convertible one and are driving on a road above cloud level?

the v40 is the smae chassis as a focus,,,,,,,, the car is actually more a ford as all filters ect are ford and the underside of the car is plastered in ford logos


but tbh the trim is alot nicer than the focus and the only thing that anoys me is the key location,,,,,,,,,,, what the fuck was that idea about


but as the car is free i dont like to complain


PS the wanky 1.6 engine eventually gets to 115mph,,,,,,,,,, then thats all folks , even turns the fucking aircon off after a certain rev range and drinks fuel at over a ton,,,,,,,,,,,,, but as thats free too,,,,,,,,, well the constant visits to the petrol station actually anoy the fuck out of me

Who posted the pics of the Focus ST...............oh my mistake.

Looks a good car. I love that free floating centre console Volvo are using.

Doesn't the new Focus ST have a Volvo engine?
