Default This is why I hate Volvo : )

There idiots! haha.... In this months Car and Driver (the one with the yellow Z06 on the front) Volvos got some faulty advertiseing! One page 100 there the test results of the new Volvo S60R AWD allong wiht the others they tested. Any how the Volvo tested ran to 60 in 6.4 seconds... Now if u trun to page 123, Volvo has a nice big color ad for the car, ans it claims that it has a 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds! haha, what bullsh*t! Im gonna go to a Volvo dealer and laugh at them

what options were on each one.. maybe you should check and see what was on the one they tested.. I dont know if the S60R comes with out AWD, but maybe thats how they did it... and it could happen like that.. but I dunno

"The S60R delivered 60mph in 6.4 seconds and a quarter-mile in 14.6 seconds at 98 mph. That's heaps slower than the last S60R we tested, which hit 60 in 5.5 seconds. We can only surmise that the desert heat, which various cars' outside-temp guages reported as being from 98 degress to 116, played havoc with the intercooler performance."

Read the f*cking magazine and stop just looking at the pretty pictures you dumbass. Keep your stupid comments to yourself. With this excellent observation, I'd love to hear what other reasons you have for hating Volvo. Maybe you'd like to bring out some further jaw dropping discoveries to back up your well thought out opinion. asshat.

I love Volvos. I had one before I bought my A6 and wouldn't have any problem going back to one. Never once in the shop for service. I wouldn't mind driving one of the R's either. My friend has one and it is one fast mother. I like them a lot.

I'd never heard the term asshat before, until like last week when a co-worked was venting about another guy in the company, now I see it here. Classic heh.
