What is it about turbo bricks that makes them so sexy? Man I would so rock this wagon. Because its not ashamed of what it is: A hella fast turbopowered brick that will swallow a family of 5 and their 2 dogs plus a weekends worth of luggage while dispatching most cars on the road in a stoplight battle:

Maybe in 20 years I would drive it... then 10 more years I would get some crazy expensive exotic car. Or If I am diagnosed with somthing untreatable, I'll get some 1666cc bike lmao.
 
A wagon? Really? A no-sh!t wagon? Not just a hatch but a wagon. You guys are kidding. I suppose if Mazda made a MS5 you'd be all over it. I got a MZ5, I like it ok for the family, but it's a minivanvan/wagon, y'know? Those Volvo turbo wagons have been around a long time & I never could get warmed up to them.

4-Given, you want the MS6. GET THE MS6! DO IT! Make wifey happy & get a GT in Whitewater Pearl with navi & sunroof (you'll be looking for a while). But ya, women just love that color. Or be real bad & get it in Red or Black. Other women just love those colors.

IMO, the Speed looks better than the S60R. Smoother & sleeker in comparison.

Just a quick note - I owned an S60, and now own the MS6GT. IMHO, the interior of the Swede cannot be matched. The exterior is strictly personal opinion (lately it seems every 6 I see coming down the road at me is in actuality a Toyota or something - they seem to look alike at a distance. And I am getting older...) but I never felt that way with the Volvo - it is very distinctive.
I personally like the way the MS6 drives better than the Volvo - I like the raw feeling and sound (several mods) and cannot get it to break loose on curves at all. I like to drive fast and like the sleeper look too. More Turbo steer in the Volvo as well as I remember.

i vote red......... Red is a power color, and those things just look GREAT in red.

white is a hot number too.........but I would get red over white if I had a choice and didn't get my black cherry.

get a Whitewater pearl MS6 GT with navi and sunroof and get the white and black leather......... that would be dope, especially with a set of CLEAN and nice looking black wheels (nothing ugly or ghettofied, maybe some "racing" wheels)

if you feel like WAITING........

they're supposedly discontinuing the 2008 MS6 but coming out again in 2009......... most likely with the new remodeled look that the 2008 Mazda6 is going to have.......


between the volvo and the MS6

I've driven both, I spent 1 week3end (one day actually)

going to a Subaru, MAzda, and Volvo dealer (all within a 5 mile vicinity of another) test driving 3 cars back to back (LGT spec.B s60r and MS6)

the S60r definitely had the nicest interior.......but performanced based, at least stock, I loved the way the MS6 was

not to mention I think mike's MS6 with his stock turbo would have beaten zigger's chipped s60r.

he DID after all beat a Vishnu chipped 355i (the twin turbo beemers).



Do yourself a favor and try to do it in one day, and test drive both the S60R and the MS6 so you can compare them back to back, and see how you feel.

i'm not getting one, tard, and you don't reserve that right either. =D


So what happened to $GIVEN?

I wanna know if he bought a car yet.
 
Im basically looking for longevity. My 850 has 150k on it and it still flies. The S60r has the same 2.3l in it. But I love the MS6. I would rather buy the MS6 but my wife wants something reliable. So I would like to talk her out of the s60r but I dont know much about the reliablity of the engine in the MS6. Is the engine in the MS6 all-new, or is it the same 2.3l that they have used for a long time? Thats what it all comes down to.


NO, it has a 2.5 I5 not a 2.3..
 
And a fine 2.5 at that, I hate the bad 2.4 N/A engine, they should make the T5 standard on ALL Volvo's. Like they did with the C30, and C70, Standard T5's. The S60R's T5 is set up differently though.
 
S60R volvos are...well...one word


meh.

I saw the new upcoming C30 already. Looks good, except it has the cool looking 18s on 17s that acutally look somewhat crappy from up close. But the car overall is great...its a 4 seater, not a 5 like the MS3 or others.

2.2L 227whp. Thats what it is coming out with...dont know the torque.

Price? hm, forgot, but I believe it was in the 22s.
 
The C30 is a T5, which is a 2.5 Liter, and Aftermaket makes pushing that over 250 5 Minutes of your time, it also suffers from no turbo lag, because of the dual scroll, but loses it's pep in the higher RPM's.

I think its,

Volvo S60R's LOOK meh, but drive like :O.
