Admittedly, my esteemed colleagues over at Carchat beat me to the big reveal, but only because I was busy wrestling with Google Translate and an official press release written in Dutch.

So, according to the official presser – only 80% of which converted successfully, making for a very comical read – the 2011 Volvo S60 depicted above is the first of many brief appearances expected to be made in the months leading up to its inaugural debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Production will begin shortly thereafter in mid-2010 and will continue until roughly 2015 when Volvo will begin its slow descent into obscurity and extinction thanks to the questionable business practices of their future overlords at Geely. I will remember it fondly.
