The spaceball: manual transmission created by magic. Only second to the gated shifter!

Man if this was available on the new V60...the crisis level would be astronomical.

I would be terrified of something falling into those little edges.

To be honest, any manual transmission on the new V60...

Didn't this come out on the V70R a few years ago? I recall seeing it in magazines and thinking that it was so cool

Is it bad I originally thought the spaceball was an auto and Volvo had it dressed up as a manual because Volvo? None the less this is super badass either way.

I'm sure some UK breaker will ship you the parts needed from a crashed s60/v60 for a manual conversion.

A salesman down in Tacoma somehow had the idea of letting me test drive his manual S60R.
Why is there a shortage of stickshift Rs, again?

As bad as I want an S60/V70 R, aesthetically its so ugly it detracts from the rest of the car for me. Just give me a nice leather boot and I'm happy as a clam.

Even cooler when you change the shift-knob to a weighted satin one that matches!
(Minus the drawbacks of how I have to put a sock on it in both too cold and too hot temps!)
