    Lol well this looks to be the 760 but I’m sure the 860 will carry the look as well. Everyone is trying to minimize the front to get the magical 10 mpg…

    Exactly they don’t want you to see key features, for example most of the headlights are covered so you can’t really get a good look at them. It will also be interesting to see how much of the European interior the truck takes on

    That hood is so tiny, although maybe it's just the angle of the camera. They must have half of the engine tucked under the cab !
    What is those black things sticking out above the windows ?

    We won't be getting any, they're not ordering any more Sweedish Dogs. They're putting our equipment on a weight loss program and Volvos are way too heavy.(and based on how my experience has been with this one, I wouldn't want one, this one is a major POS)

    I thought the same thing about it being a Freightliner...until I looked at the sleeper window. Freightliner/Volvo are both on my permanent junk list.

    Those black things are the cameras for the new mirrors looking down both sides of the truck. Zoom in and look thru the windshield looking out the passenger window, you see the black thing inside the cab. Those are the new camera mirrors they’re coming out with now.

    They do a lot of vehicle testing here in AZ. Often see convoys of cars, pickups pulling trailers, semis, etc all camoedout like that.
