I have a 2012 V60 T6 AWD R-Design, and I can confirm the turning radius thing. It is brutal. Also, not sure if it is only mine but the long wheel base makes the body flex a bit when going at an angle over sharp inclines like a steepish driveway and the ride for a semi-performance model is quite stiff so i have to get my wheels straightened every year due to the bad roads where I live.

volvo missed a huge opportunity to build a fun and sporty feeling wagon by offering what was essentially an upgraded P2 s60. The previous ownership learned that building and selling sport sedans and wagons only works if you offer exactly what competitors offer at a slightly reduced msrp. The S60R and V70R twins outsold this car by a margin of 4 to 1. The manual gearbox cars along outsold this Polestar. Now, had Volvo offered this car with a dry or wet dual clutch I think it would have taken a good chunk of audi S sales. If it had a manual gearbox as well, maybe M division would be somewhat worried.

Although I do agree with alot of what you jave said, I think volvos intention is not to go after the Germans in the way of performance. Alot of their cars tend to sit one down from the main performance car that the Germans make. Volvo don't like to shout about things and it's one of the reasons I love them. Just look when they broke a record round the Nurburgring, they didn't tell anyone. If you look at alot of their performance cars over last sport of 5-10 years there has only been a limited amounted released. I can't remember the exact amount but I believe volvo only ever intended to make around 850 of the T6 version between 2015-2016 and around 850 of the 4 pot between 2017-2019. I may be off on the exact amount. I wish volvo would go after the Germans though as I belive they would have them worried

I love it. Volvo’s supposedly obsessed with safety but they can’t be bothered to rev match down shifts to keep from being flung sideways? In their flagship AMG equivalent performance motor they also can’t be bothered to even make as much horsepower per liter as the vastly less expensive comparatively pedestrian Honda Civic Si. And, if you watch the safety system tests, Volvos often mow down the pedestrian from speeds a mainstream Nissan can handle with ease. There such a great company they first needed to be bailed out by Ford and then the Chinese. Volvo is mostly marketing these days rather than competitive substance. And now to further confuse the world and show how clueless they are Polestar is now their EV brand and even those fall way short from being competitive as well. Coming in dead last is some comparisons. Boo to you for the press release regurgitation and free trip to Sweden.
