Default I NEVER thought i would say it....

But i have found a Volvo that i really dig.

It is the S60R. Has AWD and 300hp... what more could you ask for. And, they are depreciating super super quick and are now going for under 20k. I even like the aero kit... what the hell is wrong with me.

[ul][*]Five-cylinder turbocharged engine[*]0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds with manual transmission[*]295lb-ftat 1,950 - 5,250 rpm[*]Double overhead camshafts, 20 valves[*]Dual Intercoolers[*]Three-way catalytic converter with Lambda sensor[*]Six-speed manual transmission or six-speed Geartronic automatic transmission[/ul]



What do you guys think? I think it looks kinda lame without the aero kit... but with it, looks pretty bad ***.

I don't think there's anything wrong with you Sebz. For a car that has power and style (more of a "grown up" style), Volvos are really nice cars...IMO.
You won't get grief from me about that car at all

I mean... sports car performance.. and Volvo safety and reliability ... and for once some style... im digging to find a fault with this car. So far i have come up with... i dont like the shifter (the picture one is Auto.. im talking about the manual).. and i dont like the way the dash makes it so you cant install your own head unit.

silvercoupe pretty much summed it up. There is nothing at all wrong with a powerful "gentlemens" sedan.
Not only are they powerful (power is relative) they are also extremely safe vehicles too.
