Sized about the same as last year, the new Volvo S80 gets a longer wheelbase and wider track for a more athletic, planted look. Front overhang is excessive, but otherwise the S80 is a stylish and balanced automobile, taking the bold design themes established with the original and refining them. I disagree with critics who say the S80 is too derivative of the original, but I do think this new flagship should have been made larger to create more interior room and a more compelling value equation.
