and i wanted to get the new s60. one thing about those new volvos i really like is those new curves/design they came out with! that C-70 is tight ass hell!! too bad the 2.9 is a dog. some come with turbo's for around $35k.

The 2.9 isn't all that great but get into the T6 and it'll run well.

The new S60 T5 (manual) has nearly the same 0-60 time as the CL-S but a higher trap speed.

Had they revised the interior of the C70 and been willing to work on the price I would be driving one now. IPD has and will be providing parts to take it easily to 300 hp but most importantly nearly the same torque at 200 lbs less...

My insurance company pays $30 a day for the renatal. The Volvo was $40 a day so I pay $10 out of my pocket everyday for safety reasons!

Same here with the $30/day for my rental. Actually, after I drove the Buick, I thought about getting a '98 Century for a beater. It is a 4dr mid-sized Sedan, not bad considering the poor thing was used and abused. Just like me... used and abused...
