volvo a new look ?

New S 60 glass center stack, with the power shift gear

Volvo, when someone hears about the name they will think that it is a ugly, boring, uncle looking and pathetic looking car. Well 10 years ago, yeah thats right. Volvo is a Sweedish auto maker that is probably the only one last surviving of its kind, Saab has unknown future but to be owned by someone, Koenigsagg if i spell it right has nothing to do with this segment, plus unless you are a fan of the Koenigs you probably never bothered Volvo, a Koenig super car cost 3 mil and more.

But things have change today in Volvo's design, making them one of the very sexy car to drive on the road, Somewhat evolve from the past and has come into the future.

The trusty old 240

Well, in the olden days, you wanna buy a safe car , buy Volvo, they are made with real metal, cause i remember in the days, ppl never die in Volvo, plus the 240 looks like a coffin, cantonese, Kun Choi che,,,, and so it does, if you ride in a 240, you are really driving a coffin....

Those were the days, boxy, boring, and ugly, girls hate them, and no one likes them, only those who bought them saw the 240 differently, The 240 has a legandary engine, until today, it still runs on the Malaysian roads, Plus it roars louder than the Merc old diesel engine,,, so like more garang the engine..... vrooonmmmmm like that,, then very powerful, at 2.4 l engine it is power...

Then came the 940 era and the 740 era, One thing i do respect a volvo car is that they top up with low compression turbo in assisting the power delievery. This is one way to improve power with a lower engine.... I think cars that come with low compression turbo are great buy cars,
like the Audi A4 1.8T, volvo s40 2.0T and so on and so on,,, mainly European cars.
It like getting 150 horses with a 1.8l engine. Its a bargain.

After the 740 and 940 came the S range which is the Sedan model, a new breed of Volvo is being born, and shapes started to evolve, The boxy ugly shape is no more there, but the coffin odd shape shape still remain in the modern or current design.
All new S80, Beautiful, can you imagine the changes it went though, But it has a dramatic change in shape and features, plus more added goodies into it, i was totally impressed with this model.
and then the future comes into Volvo, an all new outlook, with a different shape DNA all thanks to Steve Mattin, the lead designer of the new Volvo XC 60, S60 and probably this C30.

The powershift gear,
S60 all new one coming to you very soon.
