This gotta be one of the best looking cars on the market right now.
Totally agree
Unfortunately it has fake exhaust
I only wish it had the driving chops to match the looks.
The proportions of the v90 are better. This is indeed "good" but the v90 is almost fuckable.
@@onlytheplanetmatters Um ok.
V60 is everything right with mid-sized station wagon 👌🏼elegant design interior & exterior
Combination of superior engineering and build quality, Thank you Thomas.
The most impressive thing about this channel compared to a lot of tech and car channels is how better it gets with every review when everyone else seems to be dropping the ball.
Really love to hear that. Keep supporting us so we can do even better!
I drove this car model with T6 engine, here in Gothenburg on Volvos test track and I was impressed. "want it" feeling popped up.
Uau!!! What a great car.
And another perfect review, as always.
Great job Autogefuhl crew!!
Great review as usual Thomas. Good job.
Very powerful look, and in the same time very beautiful !
I love the placement of the loudspeaker in the Volvos, easy to upgrade
Excellent review. I miss driving my Volvo in Germany.
I love that you use a classic ZOLLSTOCK to measure the depth...:)
Great review! Thanks.
Waited for news from you:))))
In the past I would always consider buying a Volvo but could never get past the Fugly box shape, thats all in the past now, these days they offer really nice designs and still have the same focus on safety :) Great stuff Volvo.
Thomas i like the part that you measured the boot.This is very helpful.Do that more.Good detailed review here...
appreciated !
Thank you sooo much for the review.... And for opening the sunroof... But not when its raining man.....or when its very cold or freezing....... And. As usual what a Gooooood quality car and review thank you Thomas
🤟
Volvo, Mazda and Peugeot makes some of the best looking cars imo.
Volvo and Mazda for shure! But Peugeot WTF?!?!
Vitalii Gladun : the 508, 3008, 2008 and 208
Very good review Thomas. Danke!
Sehr gerne =)
Lots of talks about steering being too light on this model: you can just set it at “Heavy” on the screen, and the problem is fixed. I have this model, and have done this to make it feel more natural.
Such a georgeous car 😍 love volvo
Wrong! Such a georgeous vickel - that is what Thomas would said :)
11:30 ~ The song playing is A.M.R. Feat Ai Takekawa - Beyond The Moon. Great choice Thomas, I can always count on you for listening to great music haha :D
😎🤟
Great review, as always Thomas. Did I blink and miss the tailgate torque test? Or have Volvo got the settings correct? Looking forward to the next review. Best channel for car reviews on UA-cam, no question! Keep up the good work Thomas and team.
Thx so much:)
Best looking (shooting) break on the market.
Beautiful. I really like volvo's designs, they're almost just as stylish as Thomas!
Not really. Volvo don't offer new V60 in Thomas Blue color.
=)
@@slava_trushkin Of course they do. It's called Bursting Blue, but is only available with r-design trim.
As always, thanks for the excellent and robust review Thomas!👍.
Sorry if someone else has already commented on this, but my man Thomas, the T6 is a Kompressor/supercharger with added turbo, so a “superturbo” engine, thus the supercharger whine at lower RPM’s. The supercharger engages from start, then relays to the turbo just after 3K RPM’s. Add the Polestar Optimization software, to really bring this engine and transmission to life! I just added it to my V90 T6 R-Design, and am very impressed with the much improved engine midrange and higher RPM power with faster upshifts and downshifts. The engine seems more refined, has less distasteful growling over 2,500 RPM’s, with this Polestar flash.
yeah indeed my hearing didnt deceive me - I hear superchargers :)
Great that Thomas is actually measuring the wagon space with the foldable meter stick. The Germanic (speaking) people like to be exact :)
👌
Great review Thomas! It would be nice if you did some night driving and tested the adaptive led lights that many cars have.
Cheers!
Doesn't Thomas looks like Clark Kent from superman movies?
Does Thomas look like*.......
@@andrw8946 Isn't Thomas looking alike*... Doesn't Thomas look alike*
Andro Dimitrov always that one guy, so damn annoying. No one cares about your “correct” grammar dude
Arjen Kroos : yes, he’s Ubermann!
Ooo, we’d love to try this version and that engine, a great info packed review, thank you we’ve just reviewed the D4 Momentum Pro, a great car and trim too.
Thx and enjoy!
Thank you
Great review as usual! I agree with Thomas: BLIS is a useful assistance system! But at 32:02, so-called safety equipment: "Volvo put the most stuff from standard equipment." BLIS is an extra even on the most expensive version, and costs £680, or £1625 with ACC!
Agree
Volvo go on about safety - but don't fit blind spot warning as standard? Even on very expensive models? Blind spot warning is filtering down to small cars - I think Thomas might have said it was going to be standard on VW T-Cross?
Yes indeed. The other manufacturers are now overtaking Volvo on the standard safety equipment, so they should upgrade
AlfonsoDriver Volvo only talks about safety systems but in practice dot not quite delivers on the safety as you noticed.
Practicality an real comfort features are another areas to be improved.
Volvo basically sells the design!
Sooo beautiful
As aways a great review of a great car in the German Autumn. Love those country roads. It was always a joy to drive in the area near Idstein. But I am waiting for the first Volvo fully electric. Or Renault should do a Scenic/ Espace electric version with a 64kWh battery pack.
@Banksters Paradise That depends on what battery they use 40kWh or 60 or.. When Volkswagen can build a decent electric car for around 30k Euro. That would be the Neo with 2 or 3 different trim levels and battery packs for long range and one for around 300km. That smallest one will be enough for 95% of the use case for people. With the fast chargers around Europe you will be able to do long distance trips as well with a bit of planning and not loose a lot of time.
It doesn't have to bee twice as expensive. And I know Volvo is a premium brand. Audi has it's E-tron, although it is expensive, beneath the price of the Model X. And yes the E-tron has a shorter range than the Model X it is sufficient for again 95% of the use case and far more luxury compared to the Tesla.
Useful Post
What would be the max. driver's legroom in this car? Thank you.
Do we have any indication for the reliability of this engine (supercharge,turbocharge,electrification) after 3-4 years of running????
Thank you Thomas for reviewing this Volvo. To change my Lexus I need more info on this one.
thanks for tuning in Markus!
The new 4cyl T6 is actually an 100% Volvo engines, so are all VEA engines.
wondering if I can change my tires to 255/40 R19 without any issues of rubbing etc... ? (standard Inscription car as this one)
Hi Thomas, excellent video as always. I can talk about my personal experience with our Volvo S90 T5 Inscription (about same engine as this T6) and we are averaging on long term 7.8-8 liters/100km in the first 30.000 Km so not totally agree with fuel consuption comment.
BTW, that compressor sound is because T6 is a turbocharged and supercharged engine (T5 only turbocharged). Keep up with that excellent job. Cheers from Spain!
Good points! Gracias!
So my hearing skills didnt betray me :)
Tomás García Martínez The T6 fuel consumption is completely different than with the T5! There are quite a few tests proving this and the T6 is more in the trucks category. Thomas is right.
@@autogefuehl Excellent job anyway! ;)
@@myslecinaczej8674 Hi, I work with Volvo (@autosalonvolvo) and I am lucky to test all Volvo cars, so I have that knowledge. T6 is the same engine, with some changes of course, as the T5.
Believe that you can have fuel consumptions of 8 liters/100 km easily on normal and long-term use 👍🏼
I'm just watching every episode and just wishing i get one especially this Volvo 😔
Those "City weave" seats where gorgeous. Love the design. Why would you chose boring black leather over them? Fantastic car overall and an excellent review again 😍
indeed :)
Turbo and supercharger.... this makes me very scared but I love this design. With respect to the R design versions of Volvos, are they that much more sporty in their steering and suspension. Thanks for the thorough review Thomas!
Thx kev!
Great video Thomas. Nice clothes too 😜
Thank you for the review! Your english is really good. What is your favorite mid tier estate?
Thanks!! I really like the Passat. V60 got a great interior available though as shown here: ua-cam.com/video/WF4BjvM3HOA/v-deo.html
Oh and the Audi A4 is nice, wait for the facelift we ll show u in a couple of weeks!
Love this guy. Laughing about our comments when he makes infractions...come on Thomas! haha. U are the best! (And the people is right)
😂
Here in Malaysia, all the volvos are T8s because its cheaper than the T6. ( S90 T6 costs 110k USD whereas the T8 costs 78k Usd). This is due to government giving tax breaks for hybrids. Quite lucky haha
Same in Holland. Due to the CO² difference the T5 and T6 aren't even sold on for example the XC60
Same in Norway... Great- except for the fact that virtually all European car makers seem unable to produce or deliver enough plug-ins and ev:s. Waiting times for T8:s in Norway is way too long right now... Why many Norwegians rather buy a two year old Tesla Model S or X for the same, or often, lower price.
In Switzerland no real discount for hybrid and ev, that’s why diffusion of those types of vehicles is very slow. Maybe the government thinks we are all rich enough to buy them anyway.
@@danielm3894 Same in Sweden, esp since all T8's going to Europe now has to be built in China, since Swedish factories are busy producing cars for the US market, thus avoiding the China-US trade "war". Ordered a XC60 T8 on Feb 21 2019, est delivery is in late january 2020 😩
Super ...nice ...good ..so Qt ... love u .volvo
Hey Thomas, good job with this beautiful car. Any chance for V60 Cross Country review?
Thanks! Sure as i said:)
@@autogefuehl I didn't catch that. My mistake then. Thanks!
wow happy to hear that you actually listened to my criticism. not saying "predecessor generation" anymore i feel honored
Would you recommend the 19" tires over 18" ones with the standard suspension? How bad would they affect the comfort over bumps or potholes?
I went to test drive an XC40 and saw one of these in the showroom with the wool interior, hence why I'm here.
Volvos have really stepped up the game but also the amount of money they cost
what would be your favorite estate in mid-price segment? comfort and driving position in focus...

Hi, witch is best v60 vs new Ford focus turing,? sound isolation? Best for the price levle?
Compare it here: ua-cam.com/video/A2SuEyG789A/v-deo.html
Very nice looking car, sad that it does not keep the level of big three... It's interesting, can you rate assistant systems realisation in Audi, BMW, MB, Volv: where is it implemented best at the moment in your opinion?
Cheers! Well at the end of the day, most systems come from one supplier so they are not too different. I could try to find out who uses same hardware
@@autogefuehl And from user perspective they acts the same? I think software makes nowdays big difference. I thought about it, when I saw when you started with ACC from traffic lights it leaves too big gap from front car in my opinion. The same ZF gearboxes, even platforms used by different car manufacturers, but there are differences still. Anyway you don't need to dig into systems suppliers level :)
U can adjust the distance:)
Looks great..with that said, still looks like something my grandpa would drive.
Your grandpa has great taste in cars. Mine would prefer a boxy vw or Audi
You have such high production videos, it would be great if you could upgrade a little to offer 1440p. Its a bit dark and noisy in this particular video.
Thanks! Unfortunately, bandwidth is the limiting factor so far
I agree that sensus is difficult to use. Does having Apple CarPlay make it easier to use?
Yes and no - music never starts playing automatically from carplay :/
Good review Thomas but I've noticed you tailgate others sometimes.
Wut?
@@autogefuehl at 30:06 for example.
Thats Not close at all, plus it was low speed.
Classy car
Do you know in the USA this is a very hard car to find on the streets? And when you do see one, they are stunning. Volvo wagons used to be very popular. Now Volvo's xc90, xc60 SUVs are all over but not so much s90 or s60 or v90 or v60. I feel the sedans and wagons are so more desirable and stylish. Volvo wants to go in a Tesla direction but there's also Polestar. Whatever way they go, they're a nice Euro alternative in their own space.
Love the new V60, especially with the cityweave seats. Hope it comes to Australia next year.
Btw are Brian and AJ still around?
Sure!
where is this place?
What about transmission?
It's already no longer offered with the t6 supercharger anymore. Not even the Wikipedia page has had time to respond to the update yet. I learned while trying to order one off the Volvo website. They tried to tell me the t6 doesn't even exist. I said "huh, yes it does" and sent them a number of v60 t6 videos including yours. What kind of auto manufacturer goes through the trouble of engineering a car with an engine they only intend to give it for ONE YEAR? (Apparently, the answer is Volvo.)
Thomas ~ "That's quite quick for 100 here... Welcome to Germany guys".
Nice car but when will we see the Susuki Jimny review ?
Scheduled a test ride for next year
Hope u already checked our static coverage
the best looking 4 door car on the market competes with the aston Lagonda
Do you think you can special order the manual transmission in North America
I want the s60 in my life
Oh god 😔
can't wait for CC version. when we can expect that?
Early February!
@@autogefuehl that is fantastic news.. could you compare a normal V60 and 508SW? (however I think that V60CC would be The King on our British B class roads)
508 SW full review already in about 2 weeks!
@@autogefuehl in full HD, full screen and full length! can't wait :) I want to know if there is a serious reason for this serious price.
27:14 welcome to Germany guys :-)
Really good looking station wagon, but pretty expensive .For the same price I would get an Audi A4/A6 Avant or E-Class Estate.
Good quality interior too. Super detailed review Thomas!
thanks Greg !!
DOWN SHIFTING PULL BACK MAKES SENSE. UPSHIFTING PUSH FORWARD
i think the only negative someone can find with Volvo is the consumption and the Co2 emissions ..... Im between XC40 and the new Q3 (both 1,5MT)
Feel free to compare both our reviews!
Xc40 !!! What a beauty! Saw it yesterday night, its the best mini Suv looking car ever
Is it possible to request a review for a specific car somewhere?
Sure - Just in the comments
@@autogefuehl Ok cool! What about a new review about the BMW X1 ? the last review about this car was in 2015/2016 i think. and the car has had a few changes again from then. But i suspect maybe next year or pretty soon they will re-design the X1 again. Since the 3 series just got updated this year. Either way, we currently have the latest BMW X1 and i noticed a few changes from the 2017 model. If there is still time to fit a review in about this car, i'll be very happy :p
Ok sure m8 i ll put that up on our review wishes!
@@autogefuehl Awesome!
That was a 3 series BMW by the way, Thomas 😉
yeah thought so too later ... in white it always looks bigger
@@autogefuehl Can't get em all right. 😉 Often the exhaust helps you to differentiate between the models. At least for some BMW generations.
It's a nice car, but as all Volvo's has a huge problem, and that is the price. I don't know about every country in Europe, but where I am Volvo's are insanely expensive. This V60 T6 Inscription without any extra's starts at 64000€ without emissions taxes...so almost 70k € or about 80k USD, and then actually more if you pick any extra equipment, and the extras are really expensive. Like if you want folding electric mirrors on the Inscription model you pay 500€, if you want active cruise control 1000€, if you want an electric glass sunroof almost 2k €, 360 degree parking camera is almost 1k €, heads up display almost 1k €, electrically adjusted front seats over 1k €, even the active LED headlights are 600€ and active suspension is like 800€. So when you pay for all these options that the competition usually has standard in higher trim levels, you can EASILY push the price of the V60 upwards of 80k €, which is just theft for a car in the mid segment, I mean damn you can buy fully equipped S4's or C43 AMG's for that. That means it's actually like 20k € more expensive than the A4 or 3 series with similar power and level of equipment, and costs pretty much the same as a BMW 540i which is a car from a segment above, bigger engine, more power, more equipment, more luxury, etc.
Volvo would do much better on the market if they priced their cars realistically, and not 20-30% above it. This especially becomes a problem when you realize that the Volvo cars aren't quite as good as the other premium competitors in some areas. They don't have such a wide engine selection, all are 4 cylinders, they consume more fuel than competitors, their gearboxes aren't working quite as fine, they aren't quite as silent and refined inside, don't handle or drive quite as fine and at the same time aren't really more comfortable to make up for it, the infotainment systems aren't quite as good, etc. I drove the D4 V60 and several S90/V90 variants and they just aren't as polished as the other premium competition. I mean I don't know who would talk me into buying a Volvo V/S60 instead of an Alfa Giulia, A4, C class or a brand new 3 series which is vastly superior in most important aspects of a car and costs far less money. Even Jaguar XE, Infinity Q50 or Lexus IS as rare cars in Europe have far more fair pricing and are better value. So you're supposed to pay 20-30% more for a car that is like 10% worse in most areas than the competitors...and that is why Volvo does so badly and why they sell such a small amount of cars compared to other premium car makers. It's a shame that they chose this pricing position, higher than other premium cars, instead of undercutting them a little bit and attracting more buyers. It's just not worth paying that much more money simply to have a car that looks different or is more stylish, at least for most people.
Good aspects, I also brought up some of those
In sweden a nearly full specced v60 costs right under 50k
Yes, I tend to agree. Pricey, and extras are numerous & pricey. I'm not sure which country you refer to, but on the UK online configurator, a full spec New XC60 is £53k. A full-spec every-extra Tiguan SEL SWB with pale interior is £40k. I've driven both and the XC60 is just slightly classier inside, but not £10k more. And the Tiguan has the same equipment and with DCC rides just as calmly and quietly. Luckily, there is a choice; if you fancy a Volvo and you've got the money, you buy a Volvo! Great Review Thomas, many thanks for all the information and your great work.
Totally agree. The only point worth adding is that in many geographies Volvo dealers apply significant discounts... Especially on those lines they realize are not selling (see v90/s90).
In Portugal a V60 D4 almost full extras is 60k and we have huge taxes applied to cars. Volvo always apply discounts... Personally, I preferred the Volvo in almost every single aspect when compared with Audi/Mercedes/BMW.
Audi are just plain boring to me.
BMW need to refresh their looks also... it is getting outdated for my taste.
Mercedes exteriors are ok in general but interiors are also a no go to me. Really hate how some brands install the displays... "lower grade" cars are having them much better integrated in the car.
Alfa... well I quite like them... what I really don't like is their build quality and materials quality... my dad's Alfa is quite in worse shape then my much older and humble Seat!! Since new it has always been giving him some kind of headache... I simply cannot risk my money on them...
Volvo handling was very good. Played with it in very winding roads and it handled everything wonderfully. Was fun. Steering was quite responsive with the 19'' wheels, wonderful feedback from road surface and I felt quite connected with the car... I was expecting much worse feedback from it after watching all Autogefühl
reviews on almost all new generation Volvo's. Noise levels in highway were very good... did not feel the competitors 10% better then it. Feel that one is better in "A" but worse in "B", another is better in "B and C" but much worse in "A". It's always a matter of compromise whatever the brand/car we choose and it is always a matter of what fits better to our style/likes/etc...
still waiting for a new volvo with the old space usability philosophy. and bumpers with shock absorbers.
V60cc review tomorrow!
It was an F30 BMW 3 series with an small engine because of its one exhaust tip :P #FreakModeOn
awesome - that's how it's done =)
I enjoyed the video so much I forgot I don’t like Volvos
😎
That metter ...😂
Amongst all the V60s I find the T4 (190PS) and in places the T5 (245PS) the best choice for petrol engines as they come with amazing economy numbers (therefore cheap in taxes), have enough power for everyday driving and have a decent fuel consumption. The T6 (305PS) is rather unlogical as it is (in comparisson) way to expensive to buy, ensure and tax for the little more you get in terms of power and the MASSIVE step up in consumption whereas the T4 is almost on Diesel-Level. As in the segment even the T4 has more power than a 320i/320d my thought is you don't need much above that.
Got to admit though the 2016-2018 T6 Polestar would be my "first look dream estate".
Never forget to mention: A Volvo, no matter how well equipped is WAY cheaper to ensure and in taxes than a Merc/Audi/BMW from the segment. I owned a BMW F30 M-Performance and a 320d x-Drive before and ensurance alone is double the price of a similar or more powerful, better equipped Volvo. Not to mention Volvos engines also also cheaper in taxes as they are small capacity and CO2 numbers are WAY below german cars. It doesn't matter which V60 or V90 you choose, at least in Germany ALL of them are cheaper than ANY german estate from the big three.
Currently I am thinking about getting a new Estate (my first ever) but I'm unsure about which one. My heart is split between the V60 (old&new), the Subaru Levorg (pre-2019) and the KIA Pro'Ceed GT. Any thoughts?
Came for the car, stayed for your jawline lol.
😂
What is the name of the exterior color?
I said so :)
Autogefühl I must have missed it. Need to watch again :)
Srdjan Smudja birch
Watch out Germany, the Swedes are coming ;)
You push forward to downshift, and pull back to shift up. That's how it should be. Volvo are weird, someone there is having a stroke.
Idiot!
Its a Turbocharged and supercharged
Thanks Superman...Clark Kent.
Well Thomas if you're going to have cream pants to match a cream car , You must have Thomas Blue Pants , haha ....
😎
It was 3 series:)
yeah =)
Autogefühl but no worries your reviews are still the best😉
At least its a real exhaust, Audi is fake
I as well do not understand why Thomas calls the exhaust on volvo's fake, zooms in and shows a real pipe in there. It looks like the definition of fake for Thomas is "not round", instead of being like when fumes coming out of that hole or there is no hole at all (like on audi).
It is amazing like different reviewers evaluate the drive and the steering! Many of them still repeats the stereotype about the Volvo unresponsive characteristic. Some prize this (technically advanced) car steering feel ! Thomas called it artificial.....where is the truth? Nowhere! It just different than many but this car is really agile to drive and performs well in cornering! Anything else, your perceptions are just subjective.
Have read some comments about Volvo's fake exhaust system ..... quite mildly compared to the Germans, such as VW diesel figures for example.
I have this comment added elsewhere but will repeated it here too.
Ok. So question from a Volvo lover (former....not yet but ...): what is so luxurious in this Volvo (and others from so called “premium” segment ?
Be specific please. It is powerful, no doubts. Nothing really exceptional but at least adequate. At the same time it is heavy drinker! Downsizing only works if executed reasonably (e.g. T5 engine), no longer the case here. They went too far and it does consumes too much fuel!
Beyond that, what is really premium? Be objective. Are rear seats different than on typical car of this size? No! Are rear seats heated? Yes, if you pay premium. You need to pay just half of that on a non-premium car, it is fact. Are rear sears adjustable? No, not available.....as oppose to some non-premium cars e.g. Subaru Outback. Are rear seats headrest adjustable? No? Are rear seats shade as available like on some non-premium cars? No! Not even an option! Are front seats settings memorized? Yes!.....like on so many non-premium cars...except that only two positions are now stored...as opposed to three positions on all older Volvo’s. ......and several non-premium brands.
Front seats head rest adjustable? No, not at all.
So what is premium then? Noise level...guess what..it is not . Measure it with your cell phone. Pretty good? Yes! Premium and exceptional? No!
Ergonomic solutions? Lights control so excellent on legacy Volvo’s with separate control panel included? No! Now in the steering wheel column levers... crap like on many non-premium cars.....poor trend in the industry.
Touch screen for every car function.....try it yourself and find out... how distracting it is ( yes there are worse cars like Audi with its tons of screen approach).
Let me stop now. Negative attitude? Not really...realistic!
Your turn please. Constructive comments are welcome.....aggressive ones not so much. Thanks!.
Yeah good points, a lot of the premium is the price...
Autogefühl Thanks Thomas! Would be interesting to see you making such comparative analysis between several cars from these different segments. You are influential so if car manufacturers see it...who knows, chances are that it would work like motivation for improvements. Cheers!
I bought a V60 inscription (51621 EUR) , im swedsih so ofcourse i will support the national make! But jesus, even i have my patriotic limits.. the problems i had with my v60 is insane...
been to the shop 11 times... in 4 months, things like the mesh for the panorama fell down...then it woulden´t close...the trunklid would refuse to shut it self....it would say... check for obstacles... i had nothing in the trunk.... had it for 2 days... Then it would refuse to loch the doors..... 3 times in the shop....at last they changed the door electronic module... it was under warranty but the cost else would had been 1257€.... then winter came.... the door would freeze so you can not close it-... it would just bounce....visited the shop... they changes the lock.... 4 months old car could continue for ever... they bought it back after 6 months..... and have bought another brand! And so far.... noproblems.
thanks for the report. Thats horrible. What did you go for now?
@@autogefuehl Mabye in the future i will give try volvo again. I had han XC60 back in 2014 it was totaly ok. But will never go back to V60. I bought i Audi RS4 instead. Smaller but i was hooked on the RS after they made me try it, after thinking of an S4 and S6... only negative so far is the cost of the insurance... but that i cant blame on the car .)
You should give Volvo more cred for not following German craptastic fake exhausts. I don't think Volvo has fake exhausts on any model?
? Did you see the rear part? :)
@@autogefuehl: ? Rear part? Last part of the movie? Rear part of the car @3.10?
It is a real exhaust? Fake exhaust are plugged trims. Exhaust is usually situated underneath the car instead.
This is not fake. This is how exhaust trims usually look. Almost no one has real exhausts that large on normal cars.
yeah, those are fake exhaust tips just like so many other manufacturers
Autogefühl actually my friend, the Volvo’s are not physically connected to the tips, but are still within tip, so the exhaust gases do flow from those tips. Audi and Merc are using plugged inserts into the bumper, with the actual pipes hidden, bending down to the road - very low rent tacky.
