HtownTurboBrick Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 crack smoking monkeys...Volvo's performance models -- designated with an "R" -- never quite got the same response Mercedes enjoys with AMG-tweaked models and BMW gets with its M-badged carsthats because they added PERFORMANCE not just looks....bahhhh whats wrong wtih them!?!?!

TBM Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Volvo forgot to add another word to the title: "R-Design-Gayness." Must've been a typo or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che'_Moderator Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Pasted from my rant about it last week, and 5 minutes ago:The "R Design" is freaken retarded. First the "R" S60 and V70. They were total jokes. LX60 maybe. But the S60 and V70R were not performance oriented at all. So ok we get past that and now we have the "r design". Its a knock off of a slow car? WTF. I do not see the performance appeal of the R to begin with, but now they want to pawn off a car on me with even less HP and handling. Bill we need to sit down and have another talk. Volvo needs something and this was not it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5spd 850 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Weak...this is Ford's influence. The concept of AMG, and M series are PERFORMANCE, with minor appearance upgrades. This's where Volvo did it right in 1995. You would think that Ford, as a fledgling company with few profitable divisions, aka Volvo, wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize its image or it's sales. The good news is, that they are only producing a very few quantity and probably charging way to much for the package for it to last more than a year. Back to the drawing board...
