God, the V90 is a pretty car.

That's nice.

The "Stiff ride, noisy cabin, overstressed engine." sounded less nice.

They called it a "mid-sized" wagon. Mid size? That thing is like an old Cadillac, just needs some fins.

B&W speakers in the doors, too.

My parents and I had Volvos in the 850 era (right before the change over to V70/S70). The engines always felt stressed (5 cylinder?). The ride was harsh, but still had a upscale feel to the cabin. In later years, spouse and I have tried the various Volvo suvs and always found them very laggy to drive.

sounds very stressed (the engine) in the new v90.

what they are asking for, in that review, is what the e61 has --more cylinders and less boost.

(sigh)
