It's OK I guess but I dislike Vulvas out of principle. As Miles said the design link to the (pig ugly) P1800 is spurious and, IMO, it can only benefit from that. The rear lights seem to be a cross between the 3200 and all Astons. The rest picks bits from a myriad of other designs. It pulls it off quite well but I wouldnt have one, even if it flew.

Haha, you heathen!! The 1800 was a beautiful car! It had the wrong badge on it, I'll give you that, but was it that far away from the stunning Maser' 3500 or the Ferrari 330? I think not!!

It's a bit of a mish-mash especially at the back, although as a concept car it has potential. This is how it should be done:

IMHO it's clean bordering on bland Andy. It's as though bits have been nicked from other cars; disproportionate Ferrari scoops at the front and 1970's razor edge on the flanks, and it doesn't gel. If they're just floating it for reaction then fine, but if it's already tooled up I think they'll lhave problems selling it.

Concept cars are a daily occurrence......ok maybe not from Volvo........but I don't expect this effort to take Sweden by storm never mind the motoring world
