Nice. The front look a bit like BMW M5 but the interior is amazing!

$81k for those who get the privilege of beta testing Volvo's new blown 2.0L 4 cylinder with electric assist making 400 BHP. What could go wrong? :rofl2:


This thing needs to be priced with a few thousand of the MDX to sell in any king of reasonable numbers. Volvo in the USA sold a whopping 61K units in the USA last year and less than 5000 in Canada in 2013. This level of vehicle in this economic environment is not going to turn that around...

Volvo gone or merged within 3 years?

I wonder how long before the USA collapses -- the Chinese have been backing the US economy and siphoning out the tech and trade secrets for the past decade or so...   ;)
