You realize my S40, one of the smallest cars Volvo makes, is 4300 without AWD...

What are you talking about, a google search on "volvo s40 curb weight" shows most websites showing it to be ~3200 lbs
Even the S40 Owner's manual states that a S40 Weighs in at, and I quote, "FWD 3165-3300 and AWD 3415-3455"
How big of a turbo have you installed in your car?

Err, my XC60 has a curb weight of 4200 lbs, with AWD.

I think you all are confusing curb weight (weight of the car by itself) and the gross vehicle weight (weight of the car with four adult passengers, full tank of gas, and a full load of cargo with a hitch.)

I did have them mixed up, but technically, I was still talking apples to apples. Above I said GVW, which is what I figured everyone else was talking about...

"Later during the first year of production, the all-new S60 will also become available as a 2.0 GTDi variant (T5) producing 240 hp and torque of 320 Nm. Furthermore, there will be a 1.6-litre GTDi engine available in two versions: 180 hp (T4) and 150 hp (T3) with torque of 240 Nm."

"T5
2.0
4-cyl in-line
240 bhp
320 Nm"
