It seems the new VW bug atracts women and gays like flypaper.

No picture was released because the design team thought it was sexist to be concerned about looksThen I will submit they have NO BUSINESS designing cars, because if that is their attitude then they clearly have no idea what designing cars is all about.

Here is a fantastic example. Chrysler 300 C with a 392 Hemi, and dual quads!

You might be a redneck if:
You think a Volvo is a part of the female anatomy.
They want £35,000 for a what?!!

Yes! That, and the vacuum onboard to get the sand off the little rats before it gets into the floorboards.

Ah! All I have to do to get adjustable shoulder strap is buy a Cadillac! Why didn't I think of that? LOL
To: Smokin' Joe
I didn't realize that. I've never before heard a tall person complain about the shoulder straps.

So what does Volvo really have here? It's an S series coupe with some niche convenience features.Well, yeah, but don't forget the sea anemone carpets and oak panelled console. On second thought, strike the oak panelled console. That's a pretty old idea. But sea anemone ...
So basically, all Volvo is marketing here is a "no boys allowed" stunt. Fits right in with the stated desire to have women jump from 11% to 20% of the managers in ONE year.
I think if I were a male Volvo engineer or manager under the age of 45, I'd be looking to get out.

UGH, this is what happens when a company sells out to Chrysler. What next, a car designed by gays? A car designed by Blacks? A car designed by Muslims?

,,, some retro P1800 influence here crossed with the gullwing 50's Benz, by the looks of it.

The YCC boasts a glass roof Women have complained for years about the glass ceiling, now when they get to change something, the build it with a glass ceiling. How Ironic.
To: fdsa2
As a professional designer (not cars), and a male I am truly offended by this kind of female only club that is rampant at the same time male only clubs are verboten. Can you imagine picking a group of only male designers and engineers (unless they were gay)! Beyond the stated contention that women are better judges of cars than men, the unspoken implication is that women can design for men but men cannot design for women.
To: lewislynn
What a beautiful SUV! I'll bet it drives great.
I sure do miss my Volvo.
