Yeah, Volvo has really kicked it up notch in the stylish department with the S80; I agree!! For that matter, I hope Audi follows suit and kicks it up a notch in style. For example IMHO, I always thought the S4 had impressive statistics, but was a little ho-hum on looks, not at all differentiated from the A4. Maybe the "sleeper" look was the whole strategy. Anyway it seems things are changing with RS platforms they have coming out.

As far as bashing goes, here's a great example. Many hardcore BMW fans are ready to commit hari-kari over this new concept car, the BMW CS1 . Neoprene interior trim??? Vleaaackh! What are they thinking?? BTW, I love this Piston Heads website, especially with all the car news from Euro-land.
