Well,
after going thru the list and driving some new cars I ordered a Volvo S60 2.5T. Will come w/ leather, moonroof, Geartronic 5 speed auto, and other goodies. I get it for 3 years or 50k miles. Then might consider buying it off lease. I like the looks and the handling and ride are pretty nice. Since it is a factory turbo 5 cylinder, a manual boost controller is an easy way to add some grunt. Will be fun on my 2 and 3 hour highway drives. So I sit and wait til Nov. Anyone else done turbo Volvo's?

Will do, thanks!
Any mods will have to be easily reversed. I have lived w/ an SVO 2.3T and enjoyed how it drove, just not the continuous work to keep it alive.

There's enough Volvo logos cast into a new 500/Taurus/Freestyle's drivetrain to make you wonder if they might just rebody a Volvo with Ford panels soon...
