Yeah,that would be my take on it.I suspect that they made the best of a bad situation without altering the Volvo's front end.Cheap and quick!
Volvo's more modern designs are getting the organic shapes and Cds will reflect that.
The semicircular airdam might require more of a vertical,guillotine type motion rather than a simple hinged/swinging motion in order not to bind during articulation unless the hinge is way rearward,close to the tire face.
