afaik its a serious facelift.. the majority of components are the same, rather than a clean-sheet design?

I hope they engineer in all my favourite bits of the old car like the central locking and throttle bodies failing just after the warranty runs out along with the engine mounts being made of silly putty!
S80 was always the ugly older cousin of the S60 but not anymore so it seems.

IMHO, I wouldn't call it a facelift as it's a new bodyshell - To me a facelift is what they did to the S60 in 2004 - bumpers, lights restyled, interior tweaked, but the basic bodyshell remains the same as it first appeared in 2000.

...and I hope it shares its turning circle with the S60
