Re: Volvo news

Good news. For me what is interesting is that S80 will get AWD. Sad that the same does not apply for the S60. As for the engines, i don't really care, since very few buy big displacement engines here in greece. That 2.0T is a great engine for greece. Ideal displacement and HP.

Re: Volvo news
