Hey, I never said this!!!

I traded in my Volvo 1994 850t (ipd, 250HP) for an S4 and then modified it.
At the time Volvo (other than Euro) didnt offer quintessential AWD
performance needs, Turbo, AWD, standard, and Highly modifiable.  I could not
go to far with Volvo.

IMO, the volvo VC system is inferior for performance, check out the R and T
article, it shows that wet traction, Quattro blows away VC.  For whatever R
and T is worth :)

Maybe with Ford, Volvo will step up and compete with the M div of BMW.
