OK cool. I'm hoping Volvo can do something in the future that propels them higher than they are now... which is not that high. The C30 was the first attempt that didn't get the ball out of the infield. The S60 was a pretty good shot.

I agree. The original S60 R was a good attempt at infusing sport into the brand, but the then current design still lacked a strong language to carry it. Volvo's latest iteration of the S60 was a great attempt at turning this premium sport sedan into a competitor. Unfortunately it's still more an alternate on a car buyers list than a "gotta have it"

still a great effort. That and the XC60. I have hopes for this new model too. hoping a revamped line-up helps put more Volvos on the road

Gah why couldn't this sexy hatch be offered in AWD. The only reason I won't buy a Focus/ST
