S60 just kind of turned into a 'why is it there' car. Not intentionally but sort got that tag by default. I guess as the Brits would claim: a nanny car. Frank Vacca, VCNA project manager for S60 just came back from Sweden where it drove one. "It'll surprise people" was basically all I could get from him. While 'naughty' can be debated, I suspect they didn't want to call it 'nasty' or Bad A**, but it'll not be a nanny car. We'll release more specs next week. Hi Mark,

The real question is: Will it be as reVOLVOlutionary as its beloved predecessor? Dan, care to offer any insider's hints? ; ) According to Volvo’s facebook page, we’ll soon be learning how the new S60 is “naughty.” The real question is: Will it be as reVOLVOlutionary as its beloved predecessor?

Dan, care to offer any insider’s hints?
