It looks like Volvo has pulled the T6 trim from the V60 now that the Polestar is available. The Polestar T8 is a mild hybrid with 415hp and a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds.

I don’t know why the T6 was pulled but it’s a big jump from the 250hp T5 to the T8 Polestar.

Well that's a shame.

Apples/Oranges, but a bit like the C-class. You go C300...big jump to C43...less huge jump to C63/63S. No middle ground between the 300 & 43.

That's a clean swap. I'm gonna keep a close eye on that one - I'm curious if it'll go for north of $20k.

I was never a fan of that front end, but I'd drive the hell out of that thing.

I'd never seen a 2002 Touring before, interesting. All I've ever seen were the Coupes.

Join the line CM. Sigh.

Seen it on the road a few times and man, it's just jaw-droppingly gorgeous esp. in motion.

What shocked me is just how large it looks on the road. Looks easily bigger than an E/5/A6 Estate/Touring/Avant.
