If Volvo Coughed Up A 600HP S90 Polestar Would You Consider It Over An Equivalent Merc AMG Or BMW M?

If Volvo Coughed Up A 600HP S90 Polestar Would You Consider It Over An Equivalent Merc AMG Or BMW M?

Like the new S90 sedan and V90 wagon, but wish it was a little sportier? Polestar is here to help.

The Swedish automaker's recently acquired performance division is said to be working on a version of both the new flagship models with as much as 600 horsepower on tap. Until this happens, the company is offering a new Polestar Performance Optimization package.

600 hp is a dubious figure considering how manufacturers like to add peak electric motor output on-top of engine hp specs.

No - I would not consider a Chinese owned car company to be even close to MB or BMW. And with only 4 cylinder engines that are heavily Turbo-charged - I expect that they will have reliability problems beyond what we are seeing today too.

And yes - a VOLVO is nothing more than a wanna be - that is really a second tier premium like Buick. The prices are simply not justified by their REAL place in the supply market.The are not upper tier premiums at all.

Volvo NEEDS to make a high-trim, long wheel base version of the S90 sedan. THAT would sell.

Nobody cares about Polestar, in my opinion.

Volvo needs to know it's place: Acura/Buick level not BMW/Mercedes.
