What Volvo needs is to redesign the XC line and bring a new C30R to the market.

Where is Polestar S60 station wagon?

Why is it only 350hp. 400 would have been great. The R-line gets 325hp. they need more than 350hp to set this apart. The original polestar beat the M3, now this one would be lucky to beat a 335i sport. Such a shame because I had high hopes for Volvo on this one.

I guess I was expecting something closer to the car that was tested a while back that beat the M3 and C63 AMG.

I agree, my gut feeling is in an attempt to shave off the price they had to cut upgrades and they thought this would be a good balance. Notice there's no mention of price in there.

Even 375hp would have made it much more interesting, but with just 25 more hp than a S60 R line, I don't see the point other than the suspension and brake upgrades. True it does go 0-60 in 4 seconds, but that is mainly because it is All Wheel Drive. once the competition gets underway, it will get passed. I still wouldn't mind owning one though. I like that it is different, and a nice programer and intake w/ exhaust should get it closer to 400hp.

I just can't help but think, why tease everyone with the original which ahd over 500hp, and give this just 350.
