The new S80 is a good car in terms of design compare to the new 5 series & new E. The 5 series looks too long front end and it looks hanging from behind. the New E design looks a like a cheap car especially from rear view. From front it looks better. S80 looks nice from every angle and I called balanced design & looks very exclusice and still maintain that European looks.

In terms of interior all the three cars have a top notch quality but Audi A6 have the best interior quality. No doubt. about it . People who buys this car segment is looking for comfort and safety. When come to this point S80 is the best. All Merc & BMW owners you should test drive the new Volvo S80 you will notice on what I’ve said in terms of comfort and S 80 have awarded a Top safety Pick in its class…by IIHS. When talk about safety Volvo never compromised on that. The moment you open the door you’ll notice how solid the s80 is and automatically you feel safe.compare with 5 series & E class. And further more s80 have loads of safety features that the rivals are lack of..

And finally S80 is cheaper by 100k compare to 5 series & E class..

don’t think volvo will ever eat into the german market.

BMW owners want the driving experience and performance,
Merc owners want the prestige and Audi owners want to be different.

Volvo offers safe,solid ,powerful cars at a lower price but handling,comfort(seats a bit too hard-had a sore butt driving from ipoh to Kuantan non stop) and image cannot match the germans.

Long term duarbility has become a problem with the newer models (S series)compared to the old “bricks” (144-244-240-740) which used to last 15-20 years without any major problems

the problem about volvo here is NO AFTER MARKET PERFORMANCE PART …. if merc got AMG & BRABUS while bmw got M power and AC snichzer, ……… VOLVO also got their tuners like R-design (official from volvo), EVOLVE, HEICO SPORTIV, iPD….. but no one brought it here….

seriously who drive volvo will know the X factor of volvo cars compare others continental marque …..

Correction

Forgot to let you let you know , Accountants , lawyers , doctors and Enginners are driving Hyundai, Volvo , BMW , Audi and VW besides Merc to be more accurate . Value for money comes first not the overpriced badge .

Merc look like an ” UNCLE” car .

Some do not like Merc or BMW to be precised.

NOW the hot cake of volvo here in malaysia is the XC60 !! powerful & sporty !! not to mentioned one of its kind of safety feature!!

XC60 standing side by side with Q5 , both gorgeous! but XC60 is more poweful, given same price range!

definitely a better buy then the overprice Lexus RX or Harrier!!!!

Volvo’s brand is always on par with merc,beemers and other european continental. Only asian countries we find solace and prestige in beemers and mercedes not matter how crappy it look example new e class. But imagine the S80 on helco body skirting and etc and the S80 becomes a head turner

I think Volvo worldwide face the same branding problem.

When everyone seems to be getting all the safety stars as well, this selling pt has already become a norm. Even MIROS comes out with standards to giv our local cars some stars.

It just needs some fine-tuning to the shocks, spring setting, bushes and a great set of tires.

Engines needs to be less thirsty as others are able to do it.

Some sporty optional kit would be nice. For those who want it.
