Spy Shots: 07 Volvo S80
An icy reception for Volvo�s new big four-door.




Volvo is preparing an all new replacement for the company's top-of-the-line S80, for release sometime in 2006. The current S80 underwent a restyling in 2003.

These photos show for the first time a prototype during cold-weather testing on a frozen lake in Scandinavia . The car is still disguised, yet the new styling is clearly visible. The next S80 is again a four-door sedan but with a much rounder and more V-shaped body than its predecessor. It is again front-wheel drive and is expected to get power from a variety of four- and six-cylinder engines, as before. According to rumors from Sweden, it could also be available with Volvo�s new eight-cylinder engine.

Looks like an overweight last-gen Grand Prix (with the camo).  I know this would probably never happen, but it'd really suck if that car fell through the ice.

The front really does look like a Pontiac in the camo. I hope that's not the case without the camo.

You can see the grille past the split camo, and it looks nothing like a Pontiac.

Well, I can't on this computer, pictures don't load, but I'll believe you, since I dont remember what it looked like when I saw it last night. I'll study it more closely later.
