New garage-mate for the Vette
My Audi A4 lease is up, so I had to get another AWD sedan for our all season, everyday driving. Since I'm not quite ready to put studded snows on the Vette, I opted for the 2012 R-Design version of the Volvo S60 T6.
This car has an upgraded suspension, a boost to 325 bhp from the base 300 bhp, improved seats, unique wheels, and some styling enhancements. It's not quite in the Vette's range, but it will clock 0-60 times in the low fives.
The steering wheel design and seating are the best I've yet seen on any car...wish the Vette's were as good. Timing was perfect, since our first snow storm just hit us and the Vette's going back on its CTEK IV of battery juice.

Nice...I've never owned one but I've always liked Volvo. My best friend in high school had an old hump-back Volvo (good times). Back then I really liked the small, sporty Volvo station wagon (with the rear windshield wiper). Enjoy your new red Volvo!

My boss just traded his 2008 C70 in for a 2012 C70. I love Volvos, they all have such style. Especially the new S60.
