Volvo S80 T6

As im sure a lot of you, (i was too) arent familair with the volvo line-up. Here are some specs.

Engine : 6 cylinder, Twin turbocharged, DOHC, front engine FWD  
Displacement : 2,783 cc  
Valve : 30 valves, 5 valves per cylinder  
Transmission : 4-spd automanual  
Fuel economy : city - 19 mpg  
highway - 26 mpg

Suspension : F - Independent MacPherson strut  
R - Independent multilink  
Brakes : F - Vented discs  
R - Solid discs

Horsepower : 268 hp @ 5200 rpm  
Torque : 280 lb-ft @ 1800 rpm  
Redline : 6100 rpm

Top speed : 150 mph(electronically limited)  
0-60 mph : 6.6 sec.  
0-¼ mile : 15.0 sec @ 93.4 mph  
60-0 braking distance : 130 ft  
200 ft skidpad : 0.79 g

Ive decided to go with an automatic this time around… Pretty much my final decision came down to this, and the Lincoln LS V8. In the end i figured FWD would be better for snow, and this thing actually gets better gas mileage and makes sufficiently more power. :dunno:
