You'll stop drooling once you get inside the car. They ran out of resources for the interior design and after that there was nothing left for performance. It was the poorest performer of the cars I test drove most recently including BMW, Mercedes, a Mini Cooper, and an Audi A4 1.8t. The Audi came the closest to how I feel about our best Saabs, but still it was woefully underpowered. They definitely get the exterior and interior perect otherwise. The Volvo's front end seemed disconnected from the rest of the car. You turned the steering wheel and it seemed like the wheels were so far back that the there was a perceptible delay before the front of the car followed. Very disconcerting to say the least. I can only imagine, when I see them on the road, that someone bought it without test driving any other car.
