I agree with this point. The Volvo shown is a T6, and is a high output 6 cylinder turbo while the ES is, well, an ES. They really are different cars that do not have the same customer base.

Concerning fit and finish (considering My last 4 cars were Japanese and I own a newer Volvo), I have to say that while the Volvo hasquality materials, it does not quite equal Japanese fit and finish. Boring? Yep. functional? The Volvo interior is very much appliance like, similar to driving most Toyotas.

I look at IKEA to view what Volvo does with their interiors. Very Scandinavian and if you like that, it's exactly what you want. If you don't like their aesthetics, it doesn't matter how good the materials are.
