What?? Send you to Sweden? I think not. It's a volvo, not a Ferrari. I'm not sure if your "friend" is feeding you BS, or they have some serious connections with Volvo, because they definitely don't send you to Sweden to see it. The MSRP is ~$38. They couldn't possibly send you to Sweden and still make a profit. My dad bought an S60R a few months ago from Volvo of Tampa. He definitely didn't get a trip to Sweden . It's a pretty fun car. It's an awesome mix of luxury and performance, too. The suspension is cool indeed, but it's not the softest of rides, even in "comfort" mode (although the optional 18" rims might play a part in that). "advanced" mode is insane though. It's completely different. Virtually no body roll through corners, and a REALLY stiff ride. When you hit a bump, it tends to kind of bounce for a bit. Annoying, but fun. Only gripe I have, is that my dad got the auto . (wanted to be able to drink his coffee on the way to work, or something lame like that...). It loses nearly a second, just in 0-60, versus the 6-speed manual. What a shame...
