Not sure you are considering apples and apples here...

If you wee looking at a RX8, S2000 or a 350Z then I think you are on the same page... but a ovlov ???

I had the S60 T5 and it was a fantastic Q car... quick, comfy and sensible. A great business tool or family car.

The XF is quick... quick and well... quick...

Buy the Volvo for shopping and the XF for fun.

Would love to see the volvo dealers face when you tell them it is this of a crossfire...they have a great patter ready for MB, Saab and the like... bet they haven't got a XF one !
