It looks big but I like it.

Absolutely stunning,, very well proportioned and solid looking. I like. Rear lights work better on this than they do on the Volvo S90 but this is probably one car that would benefit from a small chromed side vent either behind the front wheel or in front of the rear to break up the bulkiness. Love the grey model
£116,000 though. Lots of power but that's Porsche 911 GT3 / Carrera 4 GTS money.
Has a WOW factor though. Be rare, and I like that

Looks stunning - a shame there's not a more real world spec and price version.

Looks like an Audi from some angles. The rear doesn't quite work for me, for reasons I can't quite articulate.

Hmm...
I expected a bit more individualism to be honest. That just looks like a two-door S90.

I like the back. Should just be a Volvo though. None of this Polestar malarkey.

Rear 3/4 is grotesque. Rear head on looks great. Bit steep in price but to neighbouring Norwegians it'll be a drop in the oil fund.

I don't think white does it any favours. The black one looks way better - especially around the rear 3/4.
But like racing I can't see what the point of making it a polestar is? It hardly makes it a Volvo halo model if it does not have Volvo on the steering wheel. Plus if Polestar is your electirc arm, what happens in 20 years - kill Volvo off?

Looks amazing. Best looking car I've seen in a while. The price though, its frankly madness. 50k is one thing but £116k, no chance

It does also look better in black - sufficiently bold and different without being wilfully so that I think I'll go against the grain and state that a different name is probably a good thing.

I think they have backtracked on the purchase thing. I suppose the subscription thing generates more coverage along the line of the $3000 a month Porsche thing a few weeks ago. |

Can't help but think it's loking like a 21st century car for "The Saint"

It's going to have electric motors on the back axle plus a 2.0l petrol 4 pot putting 377BHP to the front wheels.
Don't fancy the sound of that.

Yeah, but that much power through the front wheels?

It works in the XC90 but obviously that's a truck and this isn't.

Yeah, but that much power through the front wheels? I'm guessing it will be balanced by an amount of drive from the motors at the rear, as a sort of synthesised AWD. That, or it'll eat front tyres. |

Doesn't work very well in the V90 according to Autocar.

Must have a read! Mine can chew through fronts, though, quite happily, despite being AWD.

Early-production prototype review on Autotrader today - www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/polestar/1/first-drives/polestar-1-2019-reviewClearly a clever car and a good looking coupe, but a 2.0 petrol 4 pot plus electric motors = £140k. [Dr. Evil stance] -> "Riigght". And it is a Polestar, not a Volvo. Except that the interior reminds me of the worst GM badge engineering in the "Cadillac will conquer Europe" days. It's a Volvo with plusher leather and a different steering wheel boss. It seems to be 60 series chassis, so if Volvo had been allowed to do it for £70-80k (Tesla / iPace / eTron territory) I could see it being a really different proposition. Basically I just don't get this whole inventing a new brand thing. |
