  1. Yes. It's a completely new engine and transmission from the last generation.
  2. True. The XC60 is a great driver though, better then the new XC70 IMO.
  3. The XC60 is a great car, I think it's gonna be a huge seller. It seems to be getting way more attention than the S80, XC70 and C30 did.
  4. You clearly haven't tested City Safety yet :lol:
  5. It's shorter, exhaust manifold/turbo one piece, intakes way different, accessory drive uses 2 belts....
  6. QUOTE (matt b @ Mar 31 2009, 05:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>That stinks. It never hit me that it was being removed from their line up. We would always joke about the 2015 S60 looking exactly the same Also we can all say goodbye to the 5 cylinder we all know, the 5 cylinder in the P1 cars is WAY different.

  7. Last Volvo S60 rolls off the assembly line in Ghent At 4.15am on Tuesday morning March 31, the last Volvo S60 rolled off the assembly line at Volvo Cars Ghent. The historic car - a Sapphire Black model with a five cylinder gasoline engine - is destined for a customer in Taiwan. In total, the Ghent plant has built 578,292 S60 cars during the years 2000-2009. S60 is one of the longest running Volvo models in the plant. The highest production volume of the model was reached in 2001 when 108,906 S60 cars were produced. "The Volvo S60 was an important model for Volvo Cars Gent," says managing director of Volvo Cars Ghent Derek Jessiman. "Now we will focus on a flawless launch of the new S60." And preparations for the new S60 model which will enter production in Ghent in 2010 are already underway. The new model will share technologies with other recent Volvos such as the S80, V70, XC70 and XC60. During the coming weeks rebuild of activities in the welding plant will commence to create space and capacity for the new sedan. For example, the present capacity of the floor line will be doubled.
