For under $30k, Volvo would sell XC60s all day long. Even in the current economic climate. Even if Volvo ends up owned by Wo Fat. Knocking on $40k, Volvo’s high-priced cute ute is almost as inadvisable a retail purchase as a Lincoln MKS. But not quite. ‘Cause the XC60 is a “real” Volvo—provided it goes the distance mechanically.

If not, well, the King of Rock and Roll ended his career in a blaze of self-parody, picking invisible bugs off his arms as he tried (and failed) to remember lyrics he’d been performing for twenty years. I’d hate to see Volvo go the same way. But I wouldn’t be surprised.
