 Volvo - New Focus . . Sorry V40 - IJWS14
Volvo have a glossy ad for the new V40 in this months Management Today.

First glance and I thought - Oh the new Focus . .

It is only seeing the Volvo logo at the bottom of the page that tells you it isn't a Ford. But the Photo is a rear 3/4 view.

Is it really that close or do I need new glasses.

Certainly not that dissimilar, although perhaps the Focus is even more like the Astra?

Certainly looks much better than the model it replaces.

I'd noticed as well that they look very similar from the side. It's a pity that the new Focus front seats aren't anywhere near as comfortable (for me, at any rate) as those in the V40. I've binned my long allegiance to the Focus because of the front seats. New Focus seats ~ bleugh!
