Volvo C90

Volvo seems to have copyrighted a bunch of coupe names. Like C60 and even C40.
Which means the next S60 sedan will also come as a coupe, and maybe a convertible.

That would put Volvo right up there with Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Who are offering now pretty much every possible version of their various series.

And, a coupe version of the super good looking new S90 sedan seems like a no brainer.
We already know a wagon is coming.
A coupe and convertible would be a great addition. Matching what Mercedes has been doing with the E-Class.

Volvo S90 VS.Jaguar XF

 I keep comparing the 2 cars. I know...

But, to me, they are both shocking in their own way.
The S90 interior is shocking because it is so great. And coming from such a "blah brand" like Volvo. A brand that most people had written off. A brand that is not associate with style.

The XF is also shocking. Because how bad it looks.
 And that is coming from a very prestigious brand with a huge history of style and elegance.
The Volvo interior is so good looking. And even original.
It is truly competing with the best in its class.

And,Volvo is saying it will be priced under the $50 000 XC90.
While the Jag starts at $52 000!

Meanwhile, at Jaguar, things are flat and boring. Almost sad.
I mean look at this!

Basically devoid of any style. A coldness that was never associated with British cars before.
( I sat in it, and I can tell you, it's not better in person)
And while Volvo has found an amazing way to display wood, Jaguar seems to be doing its best to hide it.

We have officially entered the "Bizarro World".

2017 Volvo S90

 Here it is, finally. The new "big" Volvo sedan, after 10 years of the current S80.
(Which, i must say, aged quite well)
Lower and sportier, It looks much better than the XC90 it is based on.
The interior is even better. Closer to the concept we saw last year.

In real life, the XC-90 interior is superb. It feels like a cocoon in a tank.

Otherwise, nothing crazy here, just very elegant. (Although the rear view seems a bit "heavy")
And still much more original than an Audi A6.
BMW and Mercedes owners will probably stick to their choices, as they usually do.

And it should be priced bellow the $50 000 XC-90 (?)

And look at this!
I posted earlier this door picture from the all new Jaguar XF. (A car that starts at $52 000)
Above it is the new S90.

I mean really. the difference is so amazing that it could be funny.
Or we could be crying about what Jaguar has become...

2017 Volvo S90

 !st official teasers for Volvo's next big sedan.
It will be based on the same platform used by the XC90, which has, so far, been getting great reviews.

Not really a surprise. Since we have seen pictures of the toy version for months now.

Still, a really good looking car. Something different from the German crowd or E Class, 5 series and A6.
And probably much nicer inside than the poor new Jaguar XF. (See "blocky doors" posted earlier)
