Volvo S60 here by end 2010

The Bold new Volvo S60 will be launched in India by the end of next year, following its global debut in mid 2010. The current S60 was phased out in may 2009 and is to be replaced by a comprehensively face-lifted car.
However, the car will be a CBU import from Belgium. The XC90 SUV and the S80 sedan haven't done so well in the last year or so since their launch, managing to sell just 100 odd units. Inspite of matching BMW, Mercedes and Audi in terms of Quality and safety and bettering them in terms of price, Volvo doesn't enjoy the German brands' snob value.
Whether the S60 will be able to change these perceptions remains to be seen.
