DAMN! This is a serious contender for my next car. The T6 is exactly the power I want with AWD, but I might have to scratch it if I can't get three pedals. Come on Volvo, don't let me down!

I'll tell you why: Volvo is giving us back wagons. Sure, I'd love it with a manual, and a diesel, but if I can only get one of the three, I'd rather it be a true wagon than either of the other two.
Small steps. Wagons are still a risky financial proposition, though trends seem to indicate their growing acceptance. Adding a manual or a diesel to it (with the associated huge costs to get those components federalized) makes it riskier still.

I'm o.k with it as well...sure I would rather have 3 pedals but I forgive them for that, especially because MOAR POWER. I hope it sells well

V60? Really, Volvo? I thought we agreed on even numbers for sedans and odd numbers for estates. This is like that time you called your four cylinder compact 460.
Also, gosh, Volvos are looking as stylish as ever. Overdid the hood a little, maybe. I'm sure these will be as good to drive as ever.

Thats very different from what I've heard. I've heard the T5 is a 2.0 turbo i4 and the t6 is a 2.0 twincharged i4 (240hp/303 hp respectively)

I think those are next gen motors. Autoblog has the official Volvo press release.
