Volvo has just sauntered into the battle to convince the world that wagons are as cool as they are functional with a new launch video for the company’s very sexy V60 long-roof. The car’s hobbies appear to be rocking out across the open desert and hustling family and cargo across town in a hurry. Globally, the company is offering a number of engines in the V60, including a new 2.0-liter direct-injected four with around 203 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. Sadly, we wouldn’t exactly hold your breath waiting for that one to show up on this side of the world. But all may not yet be lost – Volvo has been kind enough to supply the car with a turbo 3.0-liter T6 with 304 Swedish ponies and 324 lb-ft of torque – a powertrain that sounds more like what the automaker might consider for North America (if indeed it gets the nod at all). In either case, the blown six-pot would would no doubt have us double-checking to make sure our groceries are secured.

I didn’t quite follow this but when I read it a third time, it all added up in my mind. Thanks for the insight.
