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. |

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

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.

yeah i agree...its gonna end up costing way too much for any of the younger crowd to afford...and for the pricetag they will want..why not jst get something different and better...cause the car is nice...but there are nicer...idk...tough call

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.

Agreed- many-a-bmw have been left in the dust by underestimating a volv...
