The Volvo S60R is a great car I know because I worked the US launch  
back a few years ago and I would buy one to replace my S6 if I had  
to.  Who cares about the turning radius as you will be going to fast  
to do a U turn anyway.  If you rent a suburban a couple of times a  
year you will think the S60R has a great turning radius.  I am  
working with BMW right now launching the new X5 (Great for a SAV),  
and have driven the 335i  TT and it is very cool.  As time goes on it  
will be a real good tuner, just not AWD yet.
