Haha, I used to do this with one of my other cars. Stopped doing it when I tripped over the curb whilst not looking where I was going and breaking my phone. Much to the amusement of a group of teenagers in the car park.

I do it with my 12 year old S60, which might sound daft but I really do think it's still a good looking car.
I think all the current Volvo range have very understated good looks and I'd be proud to have any......apart from the V60. I think it looks appalling and you honestly couldn't give me one.

What's wrong with the V60?!?! I think it looks quite nice.

However, I do think the facelifted S80, V70 and XC70 now just look wrong (mixture of old and new).

The V60 starts of great at the front just like the S60 and of course the interior is lovely but the back end is just awful. It's like they wanted to differentiate it from the V70 but ran out of inspiration.
