We've been saying it for years, that gone are the days when Volvo styling reflected stodgy Scandinavian practicality, so it's a cliche to say it now.   We'll say it another way: the S60 is as sleek and stylish as sedans come.   Great care went into the details, for example the symmetrical angles of the trapezoidal air intakes in the front fascia, two in the corners under the headlights, and the long horizontal intake at the bottom of the seamless nose.   The Xenon headlights mirror those shapes, and the tidy grille is perfectly appropriate to the small size of the car's forward-leaning face.   Small vertical trapezoidal LED parking lights snuggle up against the grille.  

There are no bulging fender flares to overstate or even brag about performance.   Just smooth lines from the front fenders to rear, where the hips meet the graceful coupe roofline.   The only chrome on the side of the car is a thin strip surrounding the windows and stating the grace of their outline.   The standard 18-inch wheels are split seven-spokes, nice but we've seen better, on the C60.
