Its a VW passat with a great engine. The Volvo is much larger and has a better
ride. 300 ponies and 0-60 in 5.5s for a Volvo wagon is nothing to sneeze at.

Seriously...have a look at the message boards for Volvo. They are trouble ever
since they entered the rapid retool market. Saab has also suffered for the same
reason.
