P3 S60 Concept, Volvo photo, 2008, close to final production

Post by matthew1 »

Well, sort of close...

Notice no B pillars, and also notice suicide doors(!). Also interesting is the color. This color was almost universally used for both concept cars and initial model year production cars product photos. I remember red and black used for occasional promotional material when it was launched, but the clear majority was this Saffron, though I don't remember them using the same exact paint for this model or calling it Saffron.

If there ever comes a day when I find that these "DNA" traces of Volvo products uninteresting, I'll let you know. But don't hold your breath.

Been looking at these and XC60 and have come close. Each time I'm reminded of the oil consumption and also 2.0 engine issues.

For these P3 cars, just don't get the 2.0 engine in 15/16 years. Get the T6 3.0 or 3.2 up to 2014. Polestar R-design ideally!

I looked at them also, but they fail the golf bag test.
