Volvo XC60 coming in 2008

Volvo has announced that the company’s next model will be a production versio of the XC60 concept unveiled last January at theDetroit auto show. The production model will be presented in 2008 at DEtroit Motor Show.

Development of the XC60 has taken precedence over the companion S60 sedan, a spokesman says, so that Volvo can field a competitor to the BMW X3, the Audi Q5, and the Acura RDX in the important U.S. market. A new S60 will not go on sale until late 2008 at the earliest.
