Volvo XC70
The V70 was abandoned this year, and all eyes have turned to the XC70, which is higher and heftier. A popular choice, and rightly so, the XC70 features aggressive, balanced lines, excellent fit and trim and very dynamic road handling. The base version is outfitted with an inline V6 that pumps out 235 horsepower and 236 lbs-ft of torque, while the T6 gets an inline V6 with 281 horsepower and 296 lbs-ft.
