  1. I think a lower priced, better looking sedan with slightly more ground clearance like the crown, crosstour and subaru outback sedan with do pretty good for people who have a hard time climbing in and out of sedans like accord, camry even the avalon was low to the ground and we all know the demographics on that car.

  2. Happy I just recently leased a S60 Recharge and was able to use the $7500 tax credit towards it. Great car! Not only is it fast, its economical as well. I've had it for a little over a month now and have yet to put gas in it. Grant it, most of my commute is to work and back as well as a few errands in town. All of that commute is done on electric. Charge it every other day and good to go. Great knowing when the time comes and I travel out of town, it too has a gas engine and don't have to deal with long charging times as you would with a pure EV. Very sad they are discontinuing the S60. This is my third one and sounds like my last, unless they change their minds and bring it back.

  3. Nothing special about this car. Doesn't really surprise me. It's just another boring daily driver car that at its price point you'd be stupid to purchase over its competitors.

  4. @Kirk, Quick question, when did you sour on the LS500? I’ve seen most all of your older video’s where you highly praise it. Then several days ago you did a Lexus/Toyota model comparison which was awesome. In it you made the comment “don’t even get me started on the LS 500”. I have a ‘20 LS 500 F Sport that I love, it’s all the things my ‘08 LS 460 (RIP) wasn’t. You actually recommended a Toyota Camry over the LS500😂. I lost sleep over that…please enlighten me dying to know what the epic fail is going to be w/ F Sport. Do I need to offload it??

  5. I got so tired of seeing CUVs and SUVs on the road that when it came time to buy our next car, I decided to shop for a hatchback/wagon. I convinced my wife that we DO NOT need an SUV. I’ve driven a CX5, RAV4 & X3 before and I just did not like the higher driving position. So to make the long story short, we ended up getting a Mini Clubman. It’s a wagon and glad I was able to snatch one up before it got discontinued. It’s a car that’s deceitfully roomy inside. Mind you, I have two kids. We have plenty of room. And it’s a great driver’s car. Love the handling.

  6. Volvo Canceled Cross Country models 2022 or 2021 here in Sweden.

    Then canceled S models last year
    and now plan to cancel V models for the EX models. BIG UPS to BMW making a wagon (i5 Touring).

    Volvo should really make an Electic Sedan 90 (ES90) and so with EV90 like ElectricV90.

  7. Remember, the EPA killed small cars and sedans. That's why trucks got so massive too. Because the EPA uses something called CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy). Mileage targets are different based on vehicle class. Shocker, the bigger and heavier the vehicle, the lower the mileage target is. So a small vehicle has to get MUCH higher fuel economy than an SUV or a truck.

  8. We get very few of the options available in Europe from companies like BMW, Audi, MB and so on. They get sedans and wagons and usually, multiple engine options. I’m just not excited at any of the options to replace my current car.
