Didn't have to put the snow chains on. The road itself was pretty clean. The city was cleaning the road like constantly.

I would say just rent an AWD car and go if the forecast doesn't say heavy snow.

I would be happy with either but my first choice would be the RS6 for sure. I really want an Audi Performance wagon but it will never happen.

Volvo will be releasing a new V90 next week. Rumors the 410hp V90 T6 may come here.

It's not 572hp but it's pretty good considering our wagon options at the moment. Shares a platform with the S90 and XC90 so it should be quite good. Probably high $40Ks to high $60Ks depending on options and trim.

Quite possibly if the market is there.

They made the Polestar V60 and sold out.

A Polestar V90 in that special blue

My only fear with only 410hp would be how much will it weigh.

The new XC90 is 4300lbs. The V60 Cross Country is 3900lbs. I'd guess the V90 is somewhere around the V60 XC and the V90 XC is closer to the XC90.

The new S90 and XC90 and the V60 Polestar were at the Chicago Auto Show. Gorgeous interior! Love the new styling, too. Volvo hit some great marks.

No, I wish, but that's a perfect New England car. Not too big, not too small. Love it
2.0T is way good enough too, might be perfect with just Stage 1.

My dad now drives the Allroad full-time and I've always loved that car. (Mom used to drive it but she moved on to something else.)
