The car's bonnet is another fun feature.

The whole front of the car is moulded in one piece which can be removed only by a Volvo mechanic.

"Honestly, the only time I open the bonnet on my car is when I want to fill up washer fluid," said Tatiana Butovitsch Temm

One male journalist seemed focused on another stereotype ‚Äî that women aren‚Äôt good drivers ‚Äî when he asked why ‚Äúwe need a car that can bang into other cars,‚Äù a reference to the YCC‚Äôs rubber-like bumpers.

THAT, has got to be one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen, and the STUPIDEST crap for options ever. I am, to say the least, embarassed that women invented that POS. A ponytail rest on the headrest? COME ON!! :roll: What a joke.

I don't think it's necessarily a 'man' or 'woman' position. I think it's great that women took the role of designing a car, and went with it, but they blew it away with a bunch of silly and stupid ideas. Now get a jeep chick to design somethin'.. NOW we're talking! :wink:

That was my fiances same response. She said get a guy that knows nothing about cars and he would do the same thing.

Hehehehe read about this in autonews and saw a segment on MSNBC, the interviewer couldn't believe it either but had to be political... it also has several flop down mirrors and he said the back looked more like a closet than a car!!! Sheeesh, what will come next?? Mudrat

Foxtrot X-Ray

Back end of that thing looks like a Saab Sonnet.

Definately some... interesting design features on it, though.. 111!!!

I like the magnet attached seat cusions.... Just dont sit down on them with your credit cards in your walllet.... Reminds me of the simpsons episode where Homer designed the car that sent his brother into bankrupsy. If the designers don't ever open their bonet ... err .. hood, then what the hell to they think they are doing designing a car? Volvo just lost all creditablity with me...

rollen dean montoya

they lost a little ground on that one. i hope they take out to the back 40 and put it out of its misery :leftfighter7: :rightfighter5: :bazooka: later,dog :lo1l:
