The nose of our Vibrant Copper S60 appears suitably insistent, with large, intricately detailed headlamps drawn well back into the front fenders, LED markers and a sizable trapezoidal grille proudly displaying Volvo's 'slash' bar and emblem.The sculpted, flowing roofline combined with the S60's abbreviated overhangs yields an almost hatchback-like rear deck, and the forward-canted cut lines on the rocker panels do a fine job of emphasizing the design's visual thrust, as does the subtle 'double wave' line over the wheel wells. In its bid for entry into the 'four-door coupe' club, however, front and rear headroom takes a modest haircut to 37.6 inches and 37.4 inches, respectively. Even with the nominally lower roof height, there's still a class-competitive amount of rear seat space.The new S60's visuals are fresh and attractive, yet they clearly echo the strong-shouldered heritage of the previous generation – one of the first few models that sparked Volvo's Peter Horbury-led design renaissance.
