Volvo's Concept Estate has leaked onto the internet ahead of its official debut, and it's far more gorgeous than pretty much anything that's ever leaked out of anything, let alone the rest of the drivel online. (Excepting, of course, this finely tailored space.) Photos of Volvo's big 2014 Geneva auto-show debut hit the web courtesy of Jalopnik, which seems to have posted the photos sans any explanation of how they leaked out.
Moving on, though, we're almost at a loss—we nearly cannot put into words how really, really, really good-looking this Volvo show car is. As we pointed out when teaser photos of the Concept Estate recently hit the web, there are elements of Volvo's classic P1800ES shooting brake in the car's profile, as well as in its all-glass rear hatch and powerful rear haunches.

Otherwise, it's entirely its own stunning animal, chock full of new Volvo design cues like the upside-down-question-mark-shaped taillights, T-shaped LED headlight accents, and gloriously huge expanses of simple, unadorned sheetmetal. And it's painted brown. This is the part where we stop talking and start calling Volvo to say, in the immortal words of Futurama star Fry, "shut up and take my money!" Oh, and we'll ask them for more details, which you should stay tuned for. Meantime, head over to Jalopnik for more photos.
