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.
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.

easy for the little s60

I'd rather have a mazdaspeed anything...

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.
