Replying to: british_rover (Nov 19, 2009 3:44 pm) Well, it's still an in house driveline.

Replying to: british_rover (Nov 19, 2009 3:44 pm) Except - and I may be behind the times on this - I don't think the 9-3 has direct injection.
#417 of 419 the more thing I think about it by nippononly Nov 19, 2009 (8:10 pm)
this thing is almost a perfect match-up to the Passat 2.0T. But VW is about to dump the existing Passat in favor of a larger cheaper sedan with a less powerful more boring engine, because the existing Passat won't sell.   Does this bode well?   I forget if I've seen the specs on the new S60 - will it outgun this new Regal? The only other thing I can think of offhand in its price range is the Acura TSX, which isn't a strong competitor and has the poor sales to show for it. Oh, and then there's the new A4, a spiffy competitor if ever there was one (but for more money, right?). Replies to this message: british_rover (Nov 27, 2009 7:20 am)

Replying to: nippononly (Nov 19, 2009 8:10 pm) Pics of the new S60 are out there.   Some are here http://www.leftlanenews.com/volvo-s60.html and I think edmunds has some too.   What we were told at a product update back a couple of months ago was that the new S60 will launch with a 300 hp version of the 280ish hp T6 currently in the S80/XC70/XC60. It will have AWD standard.   Later on I would expect the non-turbo version of that motor to come out with FWD and hopefully in the US we will get a four or five cylinder with direct injection similar to the Ecoboost setup ford has.   GM is launching the Regal the way I think Volvo should launch the S60 in this economic climate. Launch the car with the two more base engines first then bring out the top of the line motors later in the year.
