US auto market is set to welcome the 2010 Volvo S80 sedan, the flagship of the automaker, in the second half of this year. The vehicle was launched in the recently concluded Geneva Auto Show and is set to hit the Americas after. Although the car looks so much “Volvo’, design head Steve Martin points out a unique ‘boser blick’ and reworked Volvo iron-masked grille. These are complemented with new front and rear lights, achieving an aggressive appearance,

Inside the S80 is abundant leather with matching stitched lines on the seats, dash, and doors. It is geared with a floating dash that angles slightly to the driver for convenient access.

There will be a base and middle trim level to be available with 3.2L inline-six and turbocharged 3.0L inline-six, respectively. Soon, higher editions will get the brand’s 311-hp 4.4L V-8.
