I dunno, I think the new Volvos are all badass cars. I have rented an S40, S60, and S80, and I liked them all. Even better if yours is AWD/Turbo. BUT, did you buy the car for you or him? People tell me they don't like my car, and it doesn't bother me one bit. I don't care what they think, because I bought the car for me. Fuck them. That's my $.02.
