Here it is...the eagerly awaited S90...properly smart-looking & that interior. Pure class

"Volvo Cars debuted the highly-anticipated Volvo S90 luxury sedan in Gothenburg, Sweden on the heels of the company's award-winning Volvo XC90 SUV. The all-new Volvo S90 sedan is a bold entry into the luxury sedan market and sets a new standard with superior materials, technology, comfort and class-leading semi-autonomous features.

"With $11 USD billion of investment over the past five years we have not only reimagined what Volvo Cars can be - we are now delivering on our promise of a resurgent and relevant Volvo Cars brand," said Håkan Samuelsson, President & CEO, Volvo Car Group.

The Volvo S90 will combine Scandinavian design with cutting-edge safety and cloud-based applications and services. The interior makes use of the Sensus Connect touchscreen that debuted in the XC90, providing a clutter-free interior with minimal dashboard buttons.

"Our idea was to bring something entirely new to this rather conservative segment and deliver a visual expression that exudes leadership and confidence on the exterior. On the inside we have taken the S90 to the next level, delivering a high-end luxury experience that promises comfort and control," said Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President Design at Volvo Car Group.

The Volvo S90 introduces another step toward Volvo's Vision 2020, which states that no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo by the year 2020, through world first safety technologies and highly advanced semi-autonomous features.

Three engine choices will be available: the award-winning four-cylinder, 2.0 liter turbocharged and supercharged T6 engine, the turbocharged T5 variant and the clean and powerful T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid.

"The S90 has taken a big step forward in terms of driving dynamics, performance and ride. We have completely redesigned the Volvo driving experience from the ground up to deliver a sense of precision, engaging control and comfort," said Dr. Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President, Research & Development at Volvo Car Group.

The S90 will follow a legacy of strong sedan sales for Volvo Cars in the United States. Over the last several years, Volvo sedans have enjoyed significant demand at launch, with the last luxury sedan outselling robust competitors in its segment. Volvo Cars has seen an 18% growth in US car sales so far in 2015. The all-new 2016 XC90 has received strong demand from American drivers along with the XC60, which has enjoyed 31% growth in US sales.

"The S90 is a terrific addition to the Volvo Cars lineup in the United States," said Lex Kerssemakers, President and CEO of Volvo Cars of North America, "it will continue the terrific sales momentum Volvo Cars has gained within the last year."

What's with the "boring" comments about *potential* poor resale on this S90.

Let's hear some proper comments on the car. It's smart design; top tech

These boring comments are made by Volvo owners. And you can rest assured that if you own a Volvo your finances will be anything but boring.

Well if you buy a Volvo you're above the, "replace your car every 2 years" rat race but lets face it if you have the style and class to choose a Volvo in the first place you can certainly afford to cover the depreciation(you probably even know what this word means). You've chosen a Volvo because you're saying, "I'm better than you peasants, I shall travel in style, safety, comfort and class and laugh when you mention resale value".

PS: I've just bought a Volvo

Front and back it's beautiful, side angle looks like a cross between a Jaguar and a Ford of some sort. The interior is gorgeous but the rims on that white one are dreadful.

As for a 2L turbo AND supercharged straight six engine, DROOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I don't think any cars in this class are really made to look exciting. They are supposed to excite you with their size, tech, comfort and exceptional finishes. I think it does that.
 

Cars become hugely expensive to maintain out of maintenance plan (more so than others), weird things like breaking and you can't get rid of it because if terrible resale value (probably due to the aforementioned problem). I spend a good amount of time monthly juggling my budget to try and pay for repairs on my Volvo.
 
Beautiful interior design, basically the new XC90 design migrated to the S90 body. Exterior - could grow on one but not the best tail light treatment IMO. The Thor's hammer headlights are seriously hot but I hope they don't dilute the image by putting it on the entire range.

Having owned a Volvo - Really great cars until resale time. Just before and past the 100, 000Km mark I was visiting the dealership at least once a month to get something replaced. In the end I Had to take a huge hit just to get rid of the thing. Driving a clean:) VW CC TDi and while I love it, I still occasionally yearn for some of the Volvo's character.

I've heard the same song about every other car manufacturer to be honest.
