Good lord, every thing this Anita Lienert writes is awful. As soon as I see a comparison of a few cars in an article I know it's her because she has no idea what she's talking about. THIS Volvo is hints at the XC90 SUV? Or she'll make comparisons along the lines of "The BMW 328 faces its main competitors, the Audi A6, Lexus GS, Buick Verano, and Lincoln MKZ." PLEASE NO MORE ANITA!a

This a beautiful car. It truly pays homage to the old Volvo P1800 coupe. It will be interesting to see if Volvo is bold enough to follow through with a subsequent production model. With the right performance, handling, luxury and value, this car might be a legitimate threat to luxury coupes such as the A5, G37, 3-Series and CTS. A luxury sports coupe might also add some excitement to a brand known most for solid, competent sedans and crossovers.

My mistake - I meant 4-Series (BMW 4-Series) :-)

The BMW 4-Series will crush this POS (if Volvo survives)

I love my 2008 Volvo c30 and I'm hanging on to it until Volvo comes out with something a bit more slick / modern. If this car came to market, I would snap it up.

I'm liking the design language. It's got a lot of nice subtle shapes worked into it; like the straight edge on the C-pillar, and the interesting compound curves on the rear fender/deck lid. Can't wait to see it on their future sedans.

@ audilaw16: You do realize that the text of this article was "quoted" directly from an official press release; and that Volvo was making the comparison to the XC90, not Anita.

People these days are nearly illiterate, I swear.

Yes... I can say it would. Maybe the nostalgia effect may be lost on the younger demographic, but that doesn't make this beautiful car subtle... the gorgeous design, lines and attention to detail will totally appeal... I'm in my early 30's, and am looking forward to this car becoming available. I've loved the P1800 for years, and am stoked to think about potentially being able to own a gorgeous, new P1800-reminicient Volvo.
