I am going to go out on a limb and say this was the most enjoyable Volvo I've driven since our 2006 Project V70R. The 2012 XC70 T6 AWD with the Polestar tune may be the ideal package for the active Volvo enthusiast.
The issue-free experience crosses 14,000 miles. The T6 with a Polestar tune while in Sport mode is Volvo's naughty S60.
Earlier this week we were in Geneva for the big auto show. Click in for the photos of Volvo at the show.
Snow or no snow, The S60 serves up a safe and enthusiastic experience through the winter.
In February 1982 - 30 years ago - the new Volvo 760 GLE was launched. No typical Volvo, yet unmistakably a Volvo. Seen as elegant and exciting with its characteristic design it was well received. The 760 became the car that actually saved Volvo Car Corporation back then and paved the way to the modern company of today.
The leather with the diamond pattern suede seats found in the 1998 to 2000 V70R represent one of the most memorable features from that generation.

What the heck is that! That is the a common response we get from people when they first see the ipd XC60 R Design SEMA Concept.
Driving several hundred miles a week, we crossed over the 11,000-mile mark and we are happy to report, no issues or unexpected service visits. At a recent holiday party, I was asked to sum up the vehicle in one word and my immediate response was, “impressive.”
