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.
