Anyone seen the picture and web site yet? Looks like Volvo has a very beautiful (inside, non descript outside) fully equipped car with out the silly interface devices all the Germans seem to like, a car eons above the Caddy STS and just a whole nuther thing then a Lexus or Infiniti.
The Acura RL might be the only real competition - the Acura is much better equipped I am sure (Volvo has yet to disclose the standard equipment) but the Volvo has a panache and refinement that the Japanese, Germans (OH! if Audi did not see fit to fit that STUPID 'look at me' chrome grill on the A6) and home boyz have yet to achieve.
And just think a $50K model for $25K in 2009! Exec lease low miles low wear
200,000 miles left in it por moi!
