Don't worry, this isn't going to be an on-going fascination with Volvo, but spotted this today.

Volvo XC40 Teased And It Is Teaser Like No Other – Germans Can Learn This Time!
Maybe... but...
New interior colour choices in the XC40 include a warm Lava Orange carpet, an Oxide Red upholstery and a range of new and distinctive trims and materials with designs inspired by urban architecture and cartography. Natural, felt-based carpets, headliners and door inserts deliver a modern touch.
I can't quite imagine a modern Porsche with a "warm Lava Orange" carpet!



Finally, on Volvo, Polestar:
Polestar has confirmed that in the near future, it will become a new, separately-branded, electrified global high performance car company. Polestar will offer Polestar branded cars that will no longer carry a Volvo logo, as well as continuing to develop optimisation packages for Volvo’s range of cars under the Polestar Engineered brand.

That looks good in CAD however will it make it into production with those lines?

The warm orange is probably aimed at the American market.

Called in at the Volvo dealership today, had a look at the saloons and the XCs.

Looks good and fit and finish as as you expect from Volvo.

What is it with the quality of plastic materials that manufacturers are using? The internal finish and feel of the materials is imho more like a mainstream Ford rather than what you should expect from a quality manufacturer.
