YOu might want to have your friend check the archives of Road and Track from about a year anda half to two years ago, as they did a side by side test of the aero and the S-80 T-6. It was a pretty close comparison, and like most R&T articles,well researched and objectively done. Obviously, thigs like styling are purely subjective,but when it comes to measurable performance specs, the two came out pretty close in most categories. The one significant subjectie area where R&T strongly favored the Aero was in the area of general road feel and "fun to drive" factor, and if I recall correctly they strongly favored the Aero. Some interior layout and ergonomic issues went to the Volvo,including front seat comfort, BUT, that was based on the older style seats in that test aero, not hte newer and far superior seats in the 2002 and 2003 aero. I believe that these new seats will beat the Volvo hands down.
Look up that article, and see what you think of the comparison. Good Luck
