I drive a Volvo 850 Turbo. It's a sedan. No one suspects the kid in the grey Volvo because their grandmother drives one. Let me tell you they put out good numbers and got gobs of torque at low rpms. either you drove an S60R or a V70R because the S70R is not available in america. A very select few have converted their S70's to R specs. Go to volvospeed.com if you wanna see some sick Volvos. I'm looking at getting rid of my 850 and upgrading to either an S70 T5 or a V70R.

On Volvospeed one of the Moderators has a V70R, which is a wagon, puts down 300+whp.

i posted in another forum but i drove my moms volvo s40 today cause of the snow and man can that thing pull...it would definitly have a good time racing my mustang...its sad for me to say..but it would, it would be very close...any other people in here experience the SAFE POWER of the volvo turbos???
Its about time people give volvos some respect. Too bad the s40 is probably one of the worst volvos. But yeah theres nothing better on another drivers face as you pull ahead in a volvo.

The three C30 concepts that debuted at SEMA were rudic. I flash the V for Volvo to all Volvo drivers I see because as you said there's nothing better than watching people pull a quick right turn because they got smoked by "that soccer mom car"

Yeah it's worse than being beat by a saab. But it's funny how most people here seem to think european cars are german and that's it. Some of the more enlightened ones know of italian cars, but over all the rest of the continent gets no love.

The S80 has about as much performance capability as a rowboat. In my opinion it's a luxury saloon type vehicle the whole twin turbo S80 thing was a great idea but made poor hp numbers and was just too heavy. I have low expectations for the new S80. I'd love to pick up an S70 T5 Manual but they're so hard to come by.

i say to stick with the s60r and the c30...hopefully the c30 will draw a younger market to the cars and make them a little more popular

the 2007 s80 v8 is a different animal all together. they dropped the t6 engine because it was a piece, a twin turbo 6cyl. that put out less than 250hp. the v8 puts out 311 and gets better mpg. the 07 v8 also comes with awd and 6 speed auto geartronic trans. compaired to the crap fwd gm trans that came with the earlier s80s. the s70 t5 is a sweet car, like i said earlier i just picked one up for my sis. im not a fan of the manual on the older cars though. they were sloppy and not a lot of fun to drive. the new cars on the other hand, such as the r with the close ratio spaceball shifter and the new s40 and v50 shift much better and are more fun to drive.

i think the only way to bring a younger crowd to the c30 is to make it more affordable. the s40 v50 was supposed to bring in a younger crowd but the price tag was too high. even a stripped model was 26k+, while a fully loaded one is more than a decently equipped s60. hopefully the c30 will be lower if its going to be popular with a younger market.

my mom drives a 99 s80 and my dad an 03? xc90. i love driving these cars. the s60r is a sweet car too, but i'm really looking forward to the c30 coming out, i sat in a few at a few different auto shows, def. a very nice car.

according to the website the c30 is going to start at 22,700. for the one with the painted kit and nice options it is closer to 30k, but look at the mk5 gti... thats in the high 20's fully loaded.
