Thanked 1 Time in 1 PostYes indeed. The new D5 should tune to about 230-40 bhp. If you read the Sunday Times you will see just how fast the diesel market is catching up.

Thanked 192 Times in 160 PostsSounds delightful - apart from 350 lb/ft from 1300 rpm in a FWD [ouch].
Once rolling though, it should be a killer. How much is a new S60 D5 Sport ??My TWITTER username
