Was ook mijn eerste gedachte. Over de P1800 hoor je overigens weinig klachten van het ontwerp. Die op de foto van Jeroen mogen ze bij mij wel afleverenkoos schreef:De grill lijkt geïnspireerd op de P1800 grill (later type) en het logo achterop is duidelijk afgeleid van de vroegere type-schildjes

In Zweden denken ze dat hij C90 gaat heten. Bron: Expressen.

Volvo heeft beloofd te verrassen met een spannende nieuwe concept car tijdens de Frankfurt Motor Show in september. Maar vanaf nu het sijpelt uit foto's van de gloednieuwe model.
De auto op de foto is het concept-versie van Volvo's nieuwe model C90 - Concept C coupe op basis van de nieuwe flexibele platform SPA. Modellen die de S90 en de V90 volgen. Nieuwe 90-serie vervangt de oude V70 en S80. Volvo's hoofdontwerper Thomas Ingenlath belofte die dag met een ingetogen ontwerp van Volvo's is voorbij.
- Sommigen beschrijven het ontwerp van Volvo's zoals vanille. Met andere woorden, leuk, maar niet iconisch of leading edge. Maar ik kan u verzekeren dat vanille dagen zijn voorbij, zegt Ingenlath over het nieuwe concept.
Op donderdag, de auto wordt officieel.
XC90 first out
Het eerste model uit te rollen in de markt met nieuwe platform is een compleet nieuwe versie van de nu åldersstigna SUV XC90.
Nieuwe XC90 zal het volgend jaar te zien zijn en het jaar daarna, kunnen we verwachten extra 90 modellen. Het kan betekenen dat we een XC90 Concept zal zien in Frankfurt Motor Show in een paar weken.

2013 FRANKURT AUTO SHOW
Volvo set to debut coupe concept
Automaker will also unveil new engines

Volvo will unveil a concept that previews its new styling direction at the Frankfurt auto show.
The concept is expected to be a coupe. Volvo will release more information about the vehicle on Thursday.
"It's a concept that will clearly indicate the way forward when it comes to Volvo design," a spokesman told Automotive News Europe. He said the first production model to be influenced will be the new XC90 large SUV due late next year.
The concept will be the first show car created by Volvo's new styling head Thomas Ingenlath, who took up the post in July 2012. He previously worked for Volkswagen Group including a stint as chief designer for Skoda.
Volvo released a teaser video previewing the concept. In the video, Inglenath is filmed saying he wants to inject excitement into the brand's styling. "When I joined Volvo a year ago, some people described Volvo's design as vanilla. In other words, nice, but not iconic or cutting edge," he says. A detail of the concept's grille is fleetingly shown and he goes on to say "I can assure you, the vanilla days are over."
Volvo will also unveil in Frankfurt the first of its four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines that will eventually replace the automaker's entire engine line-up.
The Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) family replaces eight engine architectures on three different platforms.
The engines will be introduced between 2013 and 2015, Volvo said in a statement.
The first variants will be fitted to the S60, V60, XC60, V70, XC70 and S80 starting in November. Almost 20,000 engines will be produced in 2013, and by the end of the year the production pace will be 2,000 units a week, Volvo said.
The new engines are being built at Volvo's engine plant in Sweden and will be available with either an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual gearbox.

Het lijkt dat Volvo duidelijk een link wil trekken naar de P1800.
Inmiddels is er ook al een foto vrijgegeven van Maximilian Missoni, Design Chief Exterior at Volvo Cars poserend voor de P1800.

New design direction injects emotion into Volvo’s transformation journey
The Volvo Concept Coupé is the first expressive interpretation of a new brand direction where design has an elevated strategic importance to deliver more emotion into the Volvo brand.
“Our transformation plan includes a commitment to create a more premium vision of Volvo Cars. Releasing the emotional power of our human-centric design heritage is one of the key elements in this strategy,” says Alain Visser, Senior Vice President Marketing, Sales and Customer Service at Volvo Car Group. He adds: “A more premium image is vital to gain momentum in our journey towards an annual sales volume of 800,000 cars. It also supports our price position versus our main competitors in the premium segments.”
Building on recent success
The introduction of the Volvo V40 in 2012 was the first step in this direction. The positive media and customer feedback emphasizes that Volvo Cars is running with the best in several important areas, including design.
The upcoming introduction of the new scalable architecture enables the company to accelerate the transformation.
The Volvo Concept Coupé is the first of a series of three concept cars that demonstrate the design possibilities created by the new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA). They pave the way for the introduction of the all-new Volvo XC90 in 2014.
Technology as an enabler for emotion
The new in-house developed architecture and engine programme are the enablers for a stronger emotional expression of the brand, both when it comes to the exterior design and a new approach to the interior, user interface and connectivity
“Volvo’s unique human-centric approach and the aim to inject more emotions into the car design are perfect partners. Volvo Cars’ caring, human-centric values are an integrated part of the Scandinavian culture and lifestyle. The challenge is to express this with a bolder, more distinctive design that is an all-important customer criteria for premium cars,” says Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President Design at Volvo Car Group.
Design creates premium desirability
Truly premium brands are based on a complex mix of rational, qualitative parameters and strong emotional values that create desirability – and there are several examples of brands that have moved from mainstream to premium through a stronger focus on design.
“Case studies of brands that have made a similar journey to ours give us valuable input into the mechanisms that trigger the consumer's perception of premium. This, together with our own studies of people’s views of Volvo Cars, becomes a valuable base for our design development,” says Alain Visser.
Rational properties with added emotional value
The emotional aspect is also important when shaping the future of properties that are established Volvo territory among consumers:
Focus on safety has moved from offering protection in worst-case scenarios to creating features that support the driver and enhance the user experience.
Modern environmental care is able to combine low emissions and reduced fuel consumption with an enhanced driving experience – for instance though ingenious plug-in hybrid technology.
The classic functionality has moved beyond being practical. Volvo Cars’ approach is to create human-centric features that actually make today’s hectic life easier for the user.
“Reliable functionality has always been a non-compromise prerequisite for Scandinavian designers. Up here, designs have to deal with a harsh reality that demands meticulous attention to detail and quality,” says Thomas Ingenlath. He concludes: “Combining this with a distinctive design language that is inspired by this unique Scandinavian environment will give us a competitive edge that no one of our competitors can match. You could say that we will continue to do what Volvo always has done. We will just do it much better and make it much more emotional.”

Toch grappig om te zien wat er van Ingenlath zijn hand komt, bij zijn overgang naar Volvo waren velen toch best angstig (ex-VW).
