The car also comes standard with Volvo's City Safety, which automatically brakes if the driver fails to react in time when the vehicle in front slows down or stops--or if he or she is driving too fast towards a stationary object. The system can lessen or even entirely avoid low-speed rear-end impacts at speeds up to 20 mph.

The interior of the new S60 is lavish in terms of its driver-oriented details--especially the ultra-cool floating center stack--but it is still a five-seater car offering comfortable space for all its occupants. The rear seat splits 40/60 and the boot opening is much more generous than the previous-generation S60. To keep passengers entertained is a new infotainment system where information from the audio unit, navigation system, mobile phone and other functions is presented on a five-inch or seven-inch color screen in the upper part of the center console.

Production of the sporty sedan model will start early this summer at Volvo’s plant in Ghent, Belgium and the automaker is hoping to sell up to 90,000 units per year.

    Is this the new leader in the race towards cars with no windows at all? Would that be the ultimate in "coupe-like proportions"?

    Wow! cool design. Will love to have a test drive. But one thing I am curious to know about is what is the mileage we can expect from it(per gallon).

    A Buddhist Monk once asked me... Will the tires reach the pavement without touching or releasing any flamboyant gases?
    Ponder that one for a while.

    In my opinion, the most exciting view is from the rear of the car. There are bold lines that flow from the nameplate through to the rear lamp then down to the rear fascia, intersecting the line rear fascia that flows to the body side. I’ve never seen anything like it.
    I did a comparison with the concept sketch, concept model and production version at http://bit.ly/5FghE4

    Very nice, inside and out. I'd definitely consider one if the U.S. pricing falls between a TSX and an A4.
