Based on this photo, I see it as well. The fender flares, roof, and side profile closely resembles the X5 Msport. What other manufacture have fender flared SUV's?

Kzang,
I believe GLC coupe (and possibly GLE Coupe) has options that adds fender flares similar to X5's mSport and Volvo's R-Design.

Turbo,
As I said earlier, Volvo wasn't designed by Chinese, it was designed by German and Swedish designers. The Blue shot below resembled a BMW but after seeing the pictures you posted side by side, the resemblance is gone. BMW is much more aggressive looking and has overall larger appearance. There are certain things like the accent below foglamps, or the rear reflectors, but if you check out the last generation Volvo rear end, which is very similar to current one. I wish XC90 looked and felt like X5, it would make my choice much easier, but it just isn't.

XC60, on the other hand, see the rear end, reminds me of what E53/E70 combination.
