dont see any special specs about it beside maybe the quick 1/4 mile for a 3800 lb car. its call low end torque. honda will never have it until they use electric motors.

how about .90G on the skid or the 160ft braking distance? those are some serious numbers for a heavy car like that.

Volvo interiors are very nice. I sat in one of the XC series stationwagons, and it was very futuristic. Materials were nice, and the ride was smooth, quiet. I wouldn't pay that much for a Volvo though. My mom is in love with them.
With that said, I prefer the previous gen S60 R to any new things that Volvo is coming out with.

sounds great on video but hearing that thing every second of every minute of your drive...I'd be annoyed.
I love the quiet of the RL, I can't even stand having the windows down anymore.

looks like your numbers are a bit off.

maybe you should stfu and realize i was talking about the 6mt, there are two trannys offered for the 4G you know. 6mt is lighter and quicker and closer matched to the volvo you posted which has a 6spd auto. besides, you were pointing out the skidpad and braking of the volvo, not the acceleration. but again, i dont give a hoot, its a volvo.
lolol
