Default 2011 Volvo S60 spied





The redesigned 2011 Volvo S60 sedan has been spotted on U.S. roads, and it bears a striking resemblance to the sleek S60 coupe concept that debuted at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. Although the side of the sedan is rather featureless (well, save for the dramatic character line above the door handles), the front end looks pretty tasty. Its jaw line is much less squarish than its V70/XC70 station wagon relatives.

We'd say the same about the rear fascia, which you can see after the jump. This shot also provides a better look at the character line down the side of the car.

At the S60 concept's Detroit debut, Volvo officials told us the production version wouldn't be out until mid-2010, and rumors last week suggest this date is still on-target. Ford is still shopping for a buyer for Volvo, remember.

Civic rear lights, malibu front lights, and somehow the front reminds me of Ford S-max or something similar... But I like it. Volvo designs haven't been bad for many years.

It's alright, Volvo never really does much for me.

Sadly first thing I thought was Civic but I do like it and the progression. I always am a fan of quad lights up front.
