Interior and exterior changes for 2013?

[Soft]

One would assume Volvo will change the XC60 to the same led lamp and odometer as in this?

Any-one noticed this NEW model has a good old fashioned manual HAND BRAKE rather than our XC60 Electric version.

Reckon it will not take long before a XC40 follows on in the model family - I reckon it will look really cool in this new V40 body shape as long as you only need limited groung clearance..........!!!

Sleek & nice, the dash design looks like a cheap Kia, what a shame!

Ah but is it really manual and not just a button on a stick to placate those who say the electric one is poorly positioned? If it is truly manual will it only be so on the manual transmission? I do like the auto release on the geartronic.

People may look down on Kias, but they are confident enough to give a 7 year warranty.

Well, you know I don't mean reliability here. Just the design and overall looks.
I am sure you don't favor the design of the dials on your sweet XC60 to look like this? or do you?

I think each has its unique plus.Issue with some Kias is certainly interior choice.For example you can have black, black or maybe even black cloth for the seating or black ,black or even black leather!

Interior and exterior design has improved dramatically on Kias over the years,as has build quality and service.

Yes, I know. I mean cheap design. It is just looking at Korean/ Japanese cars gives me the creep, sorry, no offense.
I can't imagine the monster that is called Infiniti FX35. Do you see the same?
