Volvo V60 R-Design also 11-20% Jalop. Time for the wagon folks to unite and revolt! Who's with me?

Yep, Cleveland for sure as well. First time I heard the term "$30K Milli," I immediately thought of the meat markets on W6. Heavier on the leased/ CPO A4, though... CLE is a big Audi town.

2015 Bentleys scream "I've always been here." Autotrader 2006 Bentleys (as nice as they may be scream "I was an undrafted free-agent" or "Your dope has arrived."

Deny the anchovies at your own peril. Dice 'em into mush and add them to any sauce... I dare you to tell me it's not better for it.

Here in Cleveland, I've been pleased with the ethics of both local Volvo dealers/ service departments, though the "experience" isn't really up to "2014 near-luxury" levels. The Lexus dealer had a more comfortable waiting area in 2008. I know... first-world-problems.

Oh dear, they ruined near-perfect proportions. Only Jaguar with their long-wheelbase variants could ruin something so well.

USA don't buy tiny luxury, the C30 experiment proved that out... plus, the V60 is small as it is.

Dad should give it a second look... my 2010 V70 R-D and 2012 S60 R-D have been bullet-proof... too early to tell on my 2015 V60 R-D (just 3800 miles in).

If S90/ V90 are priced at E-Class levels as has been rumored, Volvo will be dead in the water in the US market. The name-cache just won't carry it, regardless of how spectacular the cars look or are.

Whoa... maybe a bit long in the tooth and maybe not the most curbside appealing, but this person built a pop-up penthouse for a fraction of the cost of a flash-graphic styrofoam box.

I hear you... I'm now on my fifth Volvo wagon over the past 18 years and am a bit dismayed how they've strayed from "the recipe"... efficiently packaged, sturdy, but with a touch of luxury. Granted, my V60 RD goes like stink and is all-day comfortable, but how did they manage to remove all of the utility to do it?

Sorry, my comment wasn't intended as an insult. Work of art? No, not really... I'm not a fan of jacked-up wagon things. My V60 R-D is just fine as is. That said, I don't think the V60CC will be as tall as a RAV4, unlike the Outback. That, and the proportions are quite different.

Lest we get our knickers in a twist... the V60 sales figures are misleading in that V60s were barely available in the US prior to April 2014 (or so). That said, I get the gist of the article... anything crossover-butch out-sells anything "regular-sized."

Newsflash... out amongst the non-Jalops, nobody blinks for anything. Among the Jalop crowd, anyone who confuses a wagon (albeit jacked-up in this case) with a RAV-4 should hand their (virtual) card in.

Oh, green and gold is back? Time to start scarfing up some gold-trim 1996 Camrys.

Back in HS, a friend had (his parents') 745T in red... I vowed to someday have my own. 25 years and a '88 745GLE, '91 944SE, '84 245T, a '93 945T (red!), and a '10 V70 R-Design, our parking spots now hold a '12 S60 R-Design (hers) and a '15 V60 R-Design. Yep, I think I love Volvo.

If this is spec'd properly, my 2015 V60 RD is gone in a second. Of course, if Volvo offered a 325 HP AWD V70, I never would have traded my 2010 V70 RD for the V60.
