The S60 is a true rival to the 3 series in the normal sense, it will major on safety and enviornment instead of pure driving pleasure. This will be a great FAMILY car in the same way as I view the XC90 as one of the best SUVs to own. Not struck on the looks though, I think this new design looks it's best in the XC60.

I thought the S60 is the 5er category, S40 closer to the 3er? Anyway, I don't find it a threat to the 3er at all...it's a boat...

not feeling the look. I honestly think there are lot of cars that can be considered rival to the 3 series in a general sense. even an accord v6 sedan is a competitor IMO.

If it drives like a Volvo it's not a competitor.

Looks nice and the curves are smooth but volvo hasn't been doing all that well for a while compared to the 3 main german companies (audi bmw benz)..... Plus there's vw and all the jpn cars as well..... Not gonna be easy for the little s60

No offense to BMW lovers, but it looks like it has the same shape as the spied F30.

I can't get over how poorly executed these proportions are. The front overhang is...well it's fucking enormous. The beltline is far from dynamic or speedy, and it's not even necessarily elegant. The sides look like slabs, the DLO is too small, and the fenders are nonexistant. Sorry, again, this is hardly a sport sedan.
