Surely to ■■■■, the ‘other’ lot ain’t gonna release this…it’s simply hideous, without a doubt, the ugliest thing ‘out there’

It is a bit mad looking,like a highcab Hino :confused: .Being a Volvo it will be a good truck though,it has been roadtested alot more than the MP4 judging by the amount of spyshot’s on here.Will Merc fall down on this…probably :unamused: .A friend had an 1851 MP4 for 3 day’s and he thought his MP2 1846 was every bit as fast and the quoted mpg figuire’s where not realised either. Now Volvo bring out this quare looking FH so what’s left. It look’s like Scania are the only one’s who haven’t joind the school of stupid unthought design,they pull well enough are adblue free and hold there value.Am i losing my marble’s here or are they the best if only because they have been conservative in design and technology :question:

Never been a big scania fan really, but right now they have to be one of the best looking trucks on the road right now. The Mercedes looked good when they first came out, with its giga space cab and everything colour coded. But when you see it in its basic fleet form, it looks hideous IMO. I think the Volvo is going to be the same. Scanias seem to look the part whatever version you see on the road. But then I suppose it’s not all about looks.

i care how my car looks, feels and performs. a truck is just a tool to do a job. i would be happy to sit in it and have everything working for me so i can do my job and scania fall short on that no matter what application they are being used for

as for how the new FH looks. i just think top half of an XF welded onto the bottom half of the old FH. its just as bland as the model it replaced so heres hoping the improvments are on the inside where they matter to a driver

I take it with a name like scanny77, you once has a soft spot for that marque of truck.
