For 60 grand, I think Volvo would be like top 10 cars on bottom of my list.
And I dont care that its rare, its a fast volvo, does not impress me.
would rather score a new, or lightly used CTS-V wagon.

Doesn't seem that special to me

What color is the one your dealer has? I really like that blue.

I saw that in the article. Was just wondering what lms007's local dealer had. Only 40 for the U.S.? Wonder how many are black/blue.

Its a Volvo! For $60k! WTF. Volvo's aren't exactly known for high performance well handling cars and certainly aren't worth $60k. It'll depreciate like a Land Rover.

Sure its rare, but without the bright blue paint job it doesn't look like anything special. I'm sure if I saw one on the road, especially a black one, I wouldnt even give it a second glance.
Looks aside, Im just not seeing $60K worth of car in it.

They've got a few performance lines in their heritage . .

I think it's a good looking sedan. Moderate performance wise. The R is pretty quick. My mom has a 2013 S60 T5 and it's even got some good pep.

I'd stay away from anything named "pole star" unless she was leggy and blonde.

Its a polestar, its not a normal S60. I don't think this car will depreciate very much since its so rare, that's kinda how these things go, In fact, it will probably be a collector car down the road.
