better than the other choices on this list? Not a chance. I like Volvos, and I like S60's - but the model pictured (2001-02) can be bought with the T5, a stick and a solid "stage 0" for roughly half the asking price.

You can find decent stick shift examples for ten, although they all have over 100K miles. When these were submitted on the six cylinder for less than six grand, I vehemently objected - because the four grand delta here is significant.
This is an accurate comparison, although Tucker wasn't such a self-involved, arrogant prick.
I wish the technology went the OTHER way, give me RWD and the live rear axle and LSD out of the last generation performance pack / track pack Mustang and put it in the Fiesta / Focus and you'd have something.
Plenty of people like to think of the Tesla Model S as a massive smartphone on wheels, with its huge battery, monolithic touchscreen, and constant software updates. So to hear that Tesla has snagged more employees from Apple than anywhere else shouldn't come as a surprise.
That ridiculous touchscreen, 160 mile range, and Tesla's joke of a dealer network make it a toy for the wealthy and self-righteously arrogant, not actual transportation.
Elon is "too smart" and "too forward thinking" to be concerned with any of your pedantic DOT requirements.
...and I'd be seen dead in the Charger before this electric abomination.
You're kidding about the EPA stance, right? If/when the EPA gets involved to help the consumer, Musk will just blame big government for meddling and the customers for driving it more aggressively than he anticipated (all with self-righteous snark and arrogance).
Almost ANY manual transmission coupe that clean would get a "NP" vote from me. Although (yes, I know it's a weird cross shop) I'll say that if I wanted a rare FWD euro coupe for this kind of money, I'd buy another clean first generation Volvo C70, because you can get twice as much HP to the wheels and leather.
I don't believe you.
Sure thing - I'll just go down to my local, privately owned dealership here in town and...NOPE.
I can provide a hundred examples - and none of them will look like they were designed by the same guy who penned the Oldsmobile Aurora when he/she was tripping balls.
Yes - I would. I would submit that I have owned (meaning lien-free title in hand in my name) more cars than 95% of the people on this site, and the VAST majority were manual, RWD cars.
3.1 seconds to 60, but it's still a hideous toy of a car designed by and for "non-car-people".
For $1,650 - this would be NP. Maybe.
Think back to the 2000 draft. Brady is chosen in the sixth round, the seventh QB selected. If Brady goes ONE QB draft ahead (to Cleveland, over Spurgeon Wynn) - would anyone outside the most devout Michigan fan even remember his name? I say no. He's the Emmitt Smith of this generation - a decent enough player who…
Five cylinders for $5K would just be a list of nice manual Volvos.
First gen CTS-V doesn't have much on my 335i (in the real world) - and it's the same money. The second gen certainly does, especially in wagon form.
