a couple days ago we finally received the V60 (with awesome sport seats) and an S60 both with the new T "5" 4 cyl turbo.

I'll grab the keys and take them for a spin later later along with that E63 AMG S, V12 Vantage S, and our only 2014 Evora S. So many "S" :]

I love it, I just don't love the fact we aren't getting the diesel hybrid. Friend of mine just had one in the states as a tester in NJ, and he loved it. Check out his review here http://www.cartalk.com/content/volvo-…

nice review! I'll make sure to ask the higher ups next time they are round here why it isn't coming states side. They all seem to have different answers

if i do an official oppo review, it will be of the R-design that we have on order. I don't think you dudes would like my review on the V12 Vantage S, it's just not good in my eyes. That E63 AMG S on the other hand, what a monster :]

biggest one I heard was price. If they put that thing out the door at even 60K I know 4 people in maine that would buy it tomorrow. The price argument doesnt hold water. I think because diesel is part of the mix, they see it as too big a risk

yeah that seems more likely. We have a rep coming by next month to yell at us like always, i'll ask him. I'm sure something about diesel will come up.

This V60 is just a T5 FWD but is LOADED with some badass options. The sticker has it at $45K

I imagine it will be expensive to get it past the US bureaucrats, which prohibits so many manufacturers from offering vehicles in the US that are expected to only sell in relatively small numbers.

edit: in Germany a V60 D6 (diesel) plugin hybrid starts at €59k, which is almost double the price of a V60 D2 (base diesel) which starts at €30k. I will have to add this is including 20% VAT, so before taxes that would be €49k for the D6 plugin hybrid and €25k for the D2. That's $67k and $34k respectively. Do keep in mind that cars, even German cars, are cheaper in the US than in Germany, even before taxes.

Link to the German Volvo site with prices.

lol angry Swedish...I am actually surprised Jamie didn't get the down and dirty on it. Since you know, this is him with a couple "higher ups" in Volvo. (CEO and US CEO) and his unreal 122 wagon

I'll use this as a heads up to the fact I just edited my initial post with real world prices and a link to the German Volvo V60 configurator (with prices).

ok got it. 80K in germany (converted to dollars) for the plug in. Interesting, but it would still sell here

that v60 looks awfully like the one Automatch found.

extremely similar. Ours still has the brake covers though, waiting PDI

how is backseat space?

very nice actually, and comfy seats to boot. Speaking of, the rear cargo room is very nice, I think i'm going to order some all weather mat sets to have in stock for customers.

Wait, the T5 is now a 4 cylinder? I guess Volvo is trying to be more German.

EL_ULY > The Opponaut formerly known as MattP123 01/29/2014 at 12:45

yup

T-5 = 4 cyl with turbo

T-6 = 4 cyl with turbo and supercharger

Turbo and Supercharger? Those Swedes are crafty.
