The Volvo Concept You[1] is a concept car first revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011. The Concept You is an executive car with a 4-door fastback saloon-like styling and is a further development of the Volvo Concept Universe which was revealed earlier the same year. The design builds upon Scandinavian Design where simplicity, elegance and intuitively are key ingredients. Volvo has interpreted this to design the car around the driver and passengers in the car, hence the name You. This includes, for example, that all buttons and knobs have been removed and replaced by easy-to-use touch-screen to control the features of the car. The exterior design is inspired by the classical Volvo models PV544 and the Amazon. [2]
