Volvo has no plans to put the YCC into production, but the company says many of its features will find their way into future cars

Volvo surveys show that women want a car that:

* has plenty of storage
* is easy to park
* has good visibility
* is easy to get in and out of
* can be personalized
* requires minimal maintenance


In 2002, Hans-Olov Olsson, president and CEO of Volvo Car Corporation, green-lighted the YCC project, and the team set out to create a car with all of the above attributes. More than 120 Volvo employees participated in the design, development and production of YCC, but all final decisions were made by nine women project leaders â two project managers, four designers, two technical project managers, and a communications manager â all employees of Volvo Car Corp. in Sweden.

The YCC made its world debut at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show. It features auto-opening gullwing doors (for easy ingress/egress), easy-clean paint, run-flat tires, an exterior washer-fluid filling point, interchangeable and washable seat covers, computerized parking assistance, automatic diagnostics and notification of needed service, a deep storage well between the front seats, a built-in wastebasket, and a customized seating position to give the driver excellent outward visibility.

Answer
Do you mean the 207 Station wagon SW? It is a "concept car to be shown in GENEVA this year.
I think it will sell to young families with two children. A good vacation car. You can see a photo here and read a little about it.:::

the 207 SW Outdoor has a panoramic full-length glass roof, perfect for tracking your base-jumping buddies, and a rugged plastic rim around the base of the vehicle to protect you from all the cacti youâll be running over as you chase them down. A 107-hp, 1.6-liter diesel four-cylinder ensures that the SW Outdoor does its part to preserve the environment the driver so enjoys.
