NAIAS 2015: Volvo S60 Inscription, XC90 R-Design Revealed
Aside from the S60 Cross Country, Volvo also introduced the S60 Inscription to the world during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, while the XC90 R-Design made its North American debut.
The S60 Inscription’s selling point is rear legroom, which Volvo hopes will be class-leading with the sedan. The S60 will be assembled at its facility in Chengdu, China, with exports to the United States set for this summer.
The XC90 R-Design ups the ante on the new XC90, with a range of Drive-E engines delivering up to 400 horsepower to the road through either 20-inch or optional 22-inch R-Design alloys. The XC90 will also arrive in U.S. showrooms alongside the S60 Inspiration and and Cross Country this summer.

Re: XC 90... Hey look everyone, VW finally got a midsize CUV! What do you mean "it's a Volvo"?
About the S60-Indecision (or whatever): I don't get it. If someone wants a Volvo sedan a little longer than the S60 -- isn't that what the S80 is for? About the XC90: Wow, finally! Just cut out the wheelhouse arches a bit upwards and pad them a bit inwards from the front and rear, so they won't look too ridiculously empty when you put some not-so-ludicrously Conestoga-wagon-sized rims on it, so you can lower it some six inches -- and ta-daa, the 245 is reborn.
