The Swedish king should give this gentleman a medal for his efforts to make Volvo cars look good again. Great interview! 👍🏼

So sorry to hear of the untimely death of Peter on June 29th 2023. He was very kind to do the interview, and a wonderful guy to chat with. My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

Every single one of these designer interviews you’ve done is fascinating! Keep it up!

This was a great interview. Peter was such an interesting man who made an immense contribution to car design. I would loved to have heard him talk about his contribution to the 480 or C30, two of the most unique designs of Volvo's recent history. I was very sad to hear of his passing.

It is amazing to hear from Peter directly on his view about Geely and Volvo’s relationship and so much detail on the Volvo car design history. Fantastic episode!!

[TruckCentral]

Peter, rest in peace. Your contributions are respected and appreciated.
Andy, this interview was excellent. Thank you.

Have owned multple Volvos since the Ford era, and now into the Geely era. Always loved the design, the comfort and the sensibility - the best way to put it, I think. I grew up with a PV544 Sport, but only got into them as an adult, when Ford stepped in. Loved all the designs dearly. Great interview, with a very likable and smart gentleman 👍As always, BIG thank you for the great vidoes!

This has to have been one of Horbury's last interviews; and it's great to see his trademark humor and modesty on display -- not to mention his articulate understanding of how car design actually works.

Thanks so much for doing these interviews with designers. Please keep doing more! Peter's point about it taking a foreigner to recognize the unique cultural aspects of a place is interesting. Peter's a Brit capturing the Swedish spirit. Bruno Sacco was an Italian capturing the German spirit of Mercedes. Frank Stephenson captured the British spirit of Mini.

[Whentheleevebreaks]

Such an excellent and interesting interview. Please keep those videos coming.

[SumUnicus]

You should make a video about the S60/V70. That's a interesting story also.
Volvo had started the development of a smaller sedan. But suddenly it struck them that they must replace the old 850/V70 before they can present another sedan 😁

[Specproof]

This is gold! It deserves way more views!

This interview made me ask one thing, the chinese dont like Lexus? The gentleman mentioned ABB. In the end Lexus has been in the luxury business longer than Volvo (1989 first Lexus) and its still about ABB when sometimes also their cars are better/more reliable.

Really neat! Btw, how many Lego sets do you have? 🤓
