Volvo's targeting younger buyers lately, obvious with the v70 and such and such. Now this. And young yuppies prolly prefer mid-sized rides rather than something as big as xc90. At the end of the day, at least these car manufacturers are widening their range of market and segment, by introducing new models and tapping into new markets. As far as consumers are concerned, we have nothing to lose - just shun the showroom and you won't waste a sen on these rides. You know, diversifying business is always good. At least Volvo doesn't produce and sell anymore 7-10 year old models and facelift a little bit on the grille, bumper and lights and sell them under a new model name. I think this SUV is just fine.

All this while, Volvo had this impression that they weren't after customer's money, their cars were seen as a business proposal, whom both parties would love to have a good negotiation and some win win thingy would emerge. I could scarcely have that sort of feeling nowadays, in fact, many European manufacturers are starting to produce cars the Japanese way, I know it's unavoidable, but they've started to produce cars not passion driven, but motif driven.
