I think the Volvo badge would look better on the grill than above It…
Other than that I think It looks great…
My 2 pence worth…
I liked it more in the metal than i did in pics/videos. The front is a bit odd, but it’s growing on me. Think it looks better with the chrome front than it being a big lump of plastic. That said, surely if it’s plastic it could be painted? fella from Volvo said they only had 8 prototypes, and production is starting in April. There won’t be any on the roads in the UK til next June he reckons. I asked him if there had been any notable big fleet orders yet, and he said yes but wouldn’t go into detail
Incidentally, 04Goodnesssake, it’s at Crossroads in Immingham tomorrow if you want to go have a look 
Sorry but I still think that’s a very ugly wagon, the fh16 doesn’t look too bad but I still think the designers should of designed it a bit better
Cheers, Rich
nice pics kev.
thats the best i’ve seen it look, wish they’d colour code that front grill though.

Went down to Crossroads in Hull this morning to check the new FH16 out
All that’s wrong with the looks of that truck is that it’s got all together too many axles, shift that middle one & give it some decent fuel capacity & you’d have one hell of a truck.
I love it!!!

Oh, & put the steering wheel on the correct side for some long distance haulage 
I’d imagine that big fleet order would be Stobarts? I agree with the positioning of the Volvo badge as well, it would look better lower down.
yeah, stobart is the obvious answer. I’m sure they’ll have plenty on the road come June.
