Volvo gets sporty treatment

Volvo continues to aim its cars at a younger, sportier audience.

The S60, which replaces the S70 sedan, is a blend of the top-line S80 sedan and the C70 coupe.

Designer Peter Horbury grafted elements of the coupe's roofline onto the body of the sedan and sloped the rear of the S60 slightly forward.

The S60 will cost between $70,000 and $80,000 when it goes on sale in New Zealand in November.
