Default leavin the Lexus family

After five years, selling off the IS250 for a new 2012 Volvo S60 T6. Not quite as good a handler as the IS, but the interior is nice and clean, the chassis is rock solid, and the engine has some serious punch.

Considered waiting for the ATS, but the end of year discounts on teh s60 were too good to pass up. Comes with 5 year warranty and maintenance too.

Will miss the IS. Was my favorite car ever owned, even better than my beloved SE-R.

Yep, Polestar is a no brainer.

325 ft-lbs of torque not enough? This is a 5 second car as is.

Especially when it doesn't come at the expense of fuel economy.
