Volvo is the latest car maker to play tease with concept shots of their new cars, this time with the Volvo S60 for 2010.

Cars, Culture and the City

When you think of American cities associated with the car it is Los Angeles of course that leaps first to mind, thanks mostly to Hollywood, and Detroit second.

The show has just opened, on March 25.
