So a bit of a controversial one here! As Volvo are trying to attract more buyers of the younger generation, I'm interested to see if their new design language is doing the job? I can't be the only one interested in the result!? :)

(Plus I too wanted to try the Poll feature!)

Being part of the “millennial” generation I agree that Volvo now attract a younger audience. Currently own a V40 and now moving onto the XC40. It was the rebel blue C30 that first attracted me

Out of 16 - looking like a good spread from 20s to 60s. More 30s needed!

I agree, looks promising from such a small group at this stage! Thought I may have been about the only 20s - 30s here so it's pretty cool to see I am not alone!

I don't know how up to date this poll is, but I thought that it might be interesting to revive it. I know that Volvo are trying to attract a younger clientele but it strikes me that most of the XC40s I see are driven by people the wrong side of 50 (me included!)

I hadn't responded to this poll before . . . have now and I'm very happy to say I'm still on the right side of 40 . . . for a year or so anyways! :)

I'm 33 now. That said, my first car was a Volvo too ('03 S40)!

I got my first Volvo when I was 31 (a 740}, I'm now nearly twice that age and still driving a Volvo (with a few other brands in between)
