For the month of May, U.S. sales were at 6,329 units. This represents a 1.3 percent increase from May 2012. Some top sellers for the month included the Volvo XC60 and the Volvo S60. The Volvo XC60 had 1,915 units sold, the second best month on record for the crossover; the Volvo S60 sports sedan set a new monthly sales record with 2,739 units sold. This marked the highest monthly volume since the new S60 began selling in 2010!
For 2013, the new Volvo S60 is looking more dynamic and elegant than ever. Fedde Talsma, Design Director for the exterior, explains changes by saying:
"We've really increased the S60's road presence with a new front design. The more focused and determined-looking headlamps help create this new, expressive 'face'. We were thinking of a wolf's eyes when we designed them. ... We've emphasised the S60's horizontal lines at both the front and rear. Together with details such as a wider grille, daylight running lights and a new LED light guide on the tail lamps, they give the S60 a striking, squat presence. The car has a beauty that is rooted in the natural world. The clean surfaces and contours give it a very Scandinavian feel."
