Volvo S60 R-Design Review, 330HP/360lbs TQ
 

I had a few days to myself with this car and I loved it quite a bit. Tons of power and terrific chassis. Check out the review below. Definitely a great alternative to a 335i or S4 for much less.

No thanks! $50k for car from company in turmoil and Chinese ownership.

Volvo isn't in any trouble. They're doing fine.

Saab is the Swede that wen't bankrupt for good. Being owned by another company doesn't mean trouble, at all.

Don't forget a French company (Renault) owns most of Nissan.

An Indian company (Tata) owns most of Land Rover and Jaguar.

FIAT owns Ferrari.

FIAT owns Chrysler (and have saved them from their end)

Volkswagen owns Lamborghini.

Prodrive and some Kuwaiti company bought Aston Martin, until last week selling 38% of it.

All of those companies have produced remarkable products and turnarounds since being acquired and led by proper management. Ultimately, new ownership just means more money for development. And Geely (Volvo's owner) has TONS of money to funnel to Volvo. Volvo sales were up 20% in 2011, and climbed in 2012 again, with both years selling 500,000 cars or more.

I love this thing, but I can't see myself spending 50k for a Volvo. Idk just so many nice cars out there for that money. Like the new BMW M2 coming out.

It's one of those, 'gotta drive it to love it' things. I was also a bit of a skeptic, but after throwing this thing around, I was extremely impressed.

Future iterations of this car will be absolutely explosive.

Btw: Gorgeous 991!
