Volvo S60
Autoweek is reporting that the midsized Volvo S60 sedan could be axed when the all-new S80 hits showrooms.

Nothing is official but it seems that the conservative Swedish car maker might be looking to invest its resources on more profitable models like a crossover, coupe or even a sports car to further expand the Volvo lineup.

Autoweek is suggesting that the S40 will grow in size to eventually almost reach the size of the current S60 eliminating the need for the S60 in the Volvo line up. But the problem for Volvo is they don't want to abandon the current S60 owners who buy nearly 60,000 new cars a year. It could prove difficult to convince current S60 owners to move up in price to the S80 or down in size and refinement to an S40.
