The Volvo S60 was easily the
biggest surprise during this
year's All-Stars test. That's because,
at first glance, the spec sheet looks fa-

driving dynamics. Despite sharing the old
R's power rating, the off-kilter warble of
the old five-cylinder has been replaced by
the smooth hum of a 3.0-liter in-line six
that's fortified with a twin-scroll turbo-
charger. (A 250-hp, turbo five-cylinder is
the new S60's base engine, though.)
