VOLVO is becoming serious about its position as a luxury car player, as the striking V60 demonstrates. Oozing Scandinavian design, cutting-edge safety, sumptuous quality and surprisingly involving dynamics, the Swedish alternative to a BMW 3 Series seemingly has all bases covered. Worryingly for the competition, it then hits a home run with value pricing, complete with a standard specification list that is as long as a Stockholm summer. We believe Volvo has a real hit on its hands. Try before you buy anything else in the $60K chi-chi wagon/SUV/crossover segments.
