Will Volvo make a new R series S60 off the polestar concept to battle BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, and other mid-size high performance sedans?

I picked a pretty circuitous route and arguably cheated slightly, but I'm going to get there

According to this article http://www.goauto.co...A257A220081AECF given in the starting thread.
It looks like Volvo might build it in the next year or so.

I voted no. Now, they may well sell a Polestar version by 2015, but it won't be 500 HP. We will be lucky if it is even 400.

20 people just lost money. To be fair though, it's not the S60...

Did anyone else see the autoblog piece about Polestar S60? Says they're seriously considering production, but with an MSRP of ~100k :(
