Exterior  - 2012 Volvo XC60 Review - Reviews - Volvo XC60

The XC60 is a sharp-looking little crossover, a poster child for Volvo's evolving modern image. No longer the square, boxy station wagon we remember from our childhoods, today's Volvo is sporting, sleek and sexy. Volvo refers to the XC60 as "the most sensual Volvo ever." To some, that might conjure fantasies of making out with Edward in the back of the XC60 he drove in several of the "Twilight" movies. To me, it just means there's enough form to make this car desirable to drive — with or without the family in tow — on top of all the function and safety it offers.
