Faster than the new 325i and Audi A4TFSI. Volvo now is really a good car. Check out the news of BMW plans to buy VOLVO, they knew it's the safest car+ performance n new design n therefore try to take over the competitor!~ :) this car has two engine at the moment…. one is 2.0 if i not mistaken and another is T5…the T5 version is fast… 0-100km/h is 6.4 seconds.

I think it is good for volvo to try out new design languages. If they stick to tried and tested designs (note - boring), there would not be any progress.

The rear is alright. It resemble the family look like the XC90. Somehow, I feel that the combination of the front and the rear look are very odd. Something there......hmmmm....it reminds me of Volvo 340 and 360. I don't know if it looks feminine but I think it looks like a chubby little boy.

When Neo launch and the poor rakyat book it, it's already old story and seems Neo belong to the past lioa... afterall, new car like volvo don just have AirBag or ABS/EBD as standard, they have diff safety tech. ABS and AirBag is like part of the daily requirement and still our Proton/Perodua make it a premium. I look up and down also.. how can this Volvo relate anything to Neo?

Its also interesting to note that their recent concept cars have a lot of their elements intact in this model. Especially the rear end. I think volvo has been really successful in dropping their "uncle car" tag. Might even consider a volvo over a beemer. :) i’ll buy it if they make a 4door version of this car.. *just kidding paul ;)

Most cars nowadays have their arses so high it's difficult to see anything behind the car. Not this car though, it looks like a breeze to park.
