The R version sure sounded like a super car on paper & when I saw it at the LA Auto show last year , it looked better than it sounded. The local dealers had none to test- one had to order the car first- then you can test drive it.
My wife decided on the V70 T version (247 HP FWD). I have found it to be nowhere nearly as together as my 9-5 Aero. The brakes are grabby & trying to time a shift (manual) is difficult for all four drivers. It's just not as fast as the Saab despite nearly the same power & weight values.
I hope the "R" version is a different car. Spec's aren't everything- drive it first
