My two cents on the Volvo R cars:
They are great models, there is no question about it. But so many of the complains have been about how the new turbo engine suffers from "on/off" syndrome, and the fact that the transmission is rather vague.
Personally, I love the idea of the S60R/V70R. They are awesome sleepers (espically the V70R), and have a lot more refinement than some of their competition. Their interior materials are great, seats comfortable, and have quite a bit of space for the wife and kids, assuming you have some.

Not at all! The transmission is kinda odd, I've never driven an S60R but played with the shifter on the showroom floor when I went to test the S40
The engine is still very good though.

powripperI owned a S80 T6 as well, and I'm gonna have to agree with you. I'm also loving the idea of AWD, even though I was making about 340hp out of mine, i'm sure this one is much more fun to drive. ( FWD + 340hp =
)
Mhhhmmm.... S80 T6.... the Swedish Locomotive. Only thing I didn't like about that car was that the classy rear window didn't give squat for viewing angles.
