Why are volvo so boring now? I know their new cars are good but wheres the excitment?
In the 90's they seemed determined to get away from the the boring image, but over the last few years they've just not bothered.
Suppose it doesn't help, being owned by another company.

the original T-5 was adventurous for its time, not many other FWD's around with the same power

no offence intended to anyone who's got one but the S60R/V70R was adventurous for the company but nothing compared to what was already on the market. Not powerful enough to compete with M3's, Merc's (shut it Jerry lol), yet leagues around of Mondeo's, Vauxhalls etc so never really fell into a class
