Default If volvo made a ute

What would it look like .
I know what your all thinking its started as a concept render but the made one and is sitting at a volvo museum .
Well introducing the volvo v70 ute



Clearly a bit of Ford and holden in it . The designer even admitted it . But i think it looks great.

yeah theres definitely some of Henry's and the Generals parts in that. I would argue more Ford than Holden tho. You can tell that because it looks fantastic. Knowing Volvo that would probly be quite a good car. Id buy one, if it was reasonably priced and didnt handle like a boat. Would be awsome as a AWD, with some sort of reasonably large V8 under the hood.

Coupe 60 wheels and all? Looks nice though, much nicer than the 245 wagon converted into a ute that gets around Adelaide.

That is gorgeous.. something Ford Aus could pick up on design cues.

What's with the FG's massive rear flared guards?

If that had the Volvo V8 and awd or even rwd (Volvo xc90 styles) I would very well priced I think there would be quite a few floating around in the future. Not everyone wants a ford or a holden and this would be a good compromise. Or would be good if you just wanted to be different!
