I love it. Polestar builds some bad *** GT cars. Anything that road worthy from them should be solid. It looks pretty solid in the corners, but with the standard hint of AWD understeer

Nice, but I'd take the Focus RS over this.

£40,000 though, that'll make it a really tough sell as a Volvo. I mean, if Nissan can't even move GTRs at $70k...

The thing sounds great though, and I'd like to see Volvo gain prominence again. A lot of their 80s models were just superb cars with unbelievable safety and good performance.
