tres-b Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 Before you make a huge mistake, go check out an A4 1.8T or 3.0(w/quattro of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfitz73 Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 Are you going to change your screenname? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guidew Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 A 300hp car for $37,000, not bad but volvo and power dont go together, if thats what your aiming for. Btw the pic u showed is of the show model they used to show the car before release this is what it looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmw4jay Posted December 29 Author Report Share Posted December 29 Before you make a huge mistake, go check out an A4 1.8T or 3.0(w/quattro of course)In my opinion the A4 is overpriced. I was in the Audi scene already. Great car, but just so many on the road. Plus I'm not a fan of Audi as an organization.The S60R is faster, and in my opinion looks betterKFITZ: no i will not be changing my screename. if that was the case I'd have about 4 different names since I joined a few years ago.

It is current model and shows what the S60R aftermarket has to offer. I will be working with them and Heico Sportiv to achieve a one of a kind S60. First step is trying to locate my color choice.then I will tune accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aa07033 Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 That after market prepped one reminds me of that 8 cylinder car that they sell solely in Australia, what is the falcon or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgiddy Posted December 30 Report Share Posted December 30 I'm not a fan of Volvo, too soccer mom'ish for me. But damn that one looks pretty nice, I would almost consider one, plus it's not a car that everyone has. i.e bmw, audi, subaru, etc..

hmouta Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 i love the s60r. volvo has totally stepped up and started making sporty great looking cars. if u think volvo is still for soccer moms, get over it. the new s60r now comes with body moldings painted and there's a volvo addon body kit that makes it even better looking. i love bmw and they are totally going down the drain. when they made the e46 m3 only as a coupe, i lost interest. its a beatiful car but i need 4 doors. i've never been a fan of mb so that leaves audi/vw which i like alot, and the swedes. saab and volvo are definitely stepping up.

tres-b Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 the A4 is nowhere near the S60 R in terms of performance. Volvo has such a storied history in racing, sports cars, etc. When did they become the barometer for performance? They are the low end luxury that become rattle traps.
