Minimalist Volvo models by Playsam for Volvo

Volvo's merchandising department has announced that they will offer two new models. These models are an minimalist as well as elegant interpretation of Volvo's actual design language. Both models will be made by Playsam. The design of both models is by Drop Innovation, a design company based in Barcelona, Spain. Volvo's merchandising department seems to offer both models only in black. But Playsam will offer both models also in red as well as in white. Volvo will offer each model for €62.70 incl tax. Playsam has not yet revealed their sale tag. Volvo and Playsam also give slightly different lengths for each model. I will try to find out who is right and who isn't.
