Mark, keep bringing on the volvo pics.
I just did a bit of research today on these. Hugely desirable cars, although how would you rate the handling? I like a bit of oversteer and I can imagine these might not favor my preferences.
The major reason I ask is I have strong desire to reward myself for my hard work about a year after I graduate with a nice car, and these certainly weigh highly on my list.
If I were able to justify a 30k car, the s60r would be a strong contender with the cts-v. Feel free to give me a bit of insight over pm.
