Design and Styling
The Volvo 440/460 series were designed to fit in below Volvo's bigger saloon and estate cars as a replacement to the 340/360 series. First generation 400 series cars resemble the bigger 940, whilst the facelifted example bore a resemblance to the Volvo 850. The interiors of the 400 series variants were designed by famed Volvo designer Peter Horbury.

Famous quotes containing the words design and/or styling:
“Nowadays the host does not admit you to his hearth, but has got the mason to build one for yourself somewhere in his alley, and hospitality is the art of keeping you at the greatest distance. There is as much secrecy about the cooking as if he had a design to poison you.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
