...seems a little bland, even for a Volvo.
Meanwhile the Polestar 3 is growing on me. Saw one in person today, it looks like a nice wagon.

I don't know why the interior screams Chinese to me (probably because of the two-spoke wheel). The offset digital speedometer also looks kinda funky with the asymmetrical bezels.  | |

That rear quarter/rear hatch is really odd looking.

Polestar 3 looks so nice, not sure how the interior is.
By 27 just make it in China and charge $45000  | |

Cars are expensive. When we bought our X3 in 2019 it was 53k before tax well optioned, with discounts. The same car would be at least 65k now new.

As nice looking as the Volvo is, why does every freaking manufacturer thinks it is necessary to literally re-invent the (steering) wheel?! 
Just gimme a plain and rounding looking steering wheel and call it a day! Something like this would have been perfection!!!  Quote:

The shape reminds me of that Land Rover Evoque.
whitev70r, a Volvo fan, not liking this Volvo.

At this point I'm more worried about the software stack vs. the actual hard bits/interior bits on the car. Volvo's been having a lot of troubles in that regard.

^How was your experience with the Polestar 4?
Software is the main reason I'm skeptical with new Polestar / Volvo releases.

In EU pricing it's 15k euros less than GLC for similar features.
Similar pricing to iX3 but far more features

The SW in my parents 2022 XC40 Recharge is still buggy and lags out at times but has gotten better in the past 3 years. I would give the experience a 7.5/10, not great but not so bad where I'd want to drive it off a cliff. Their particular model would be considered Gen 1 so the new EX60 would be Gen2??? I would hope there would be some big improvements .
