      Volvo S60 - Turbo'd I6 - 300hp/325tq

      While the car looks like Click here to enlarge , this commercial was actually pretty good marketing.



      So much so I decided to dig up some info...

      3.0L Inline 6 turbocharged - 300hp, 325tq....~37k

      Click here to enlarge Specs look good, but price is a bit high...but what caught my eye was this:



      • Drive type: all wheel drive
      • Mechanical center differential
      • Transmission: 6-speed shiftable automatic
      • Center limited slip differential

      comes with an LSD!

      Thoughts? I wouldn't say it's a bad looking car...just not a very good one...

      Some people live long, meaningful lives.

      Other people eat shit and die.

      I'm not racist, I hate everybody equally; especially fat people.
