Australian police have been given a polestar to play with. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=austian%20police%20volvo%20polestar&source=web&cd=9&ved=0CC8QFjAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drive.com.au%2Fmotor-news%2Fvolvo-to-replace-v8s-20140417-36ud3.html&ei=xJtUU82OCcnHPemNgOgI&usg=AFQjCNF28qmXvDXF0K-quP5jAAuuRvaw_A
Looks nice, but pointless if they won't use it to its full benefit
[QUOTE=RichT4;705206]Looks nice, but pointless if they won't use it to its full benefit[/QUOTE] it'll only be used for PR
It's definitely a PR stunt, but further raises the question of what we'll do when holden and ford no longer offer large RWD, high powered sedans which have historically been used for pursuit/hwy patrol work.
My local dealer has a black v60 polestar due in next month
I thought proper polestars only came in rebel blue? Everything else is just polestar mapped.
Polestars come in Red, Black, Blue and I think white.
They come in silver, black, white and blue only http://www.nextpolestar.com/#/showcase Have a look, I like the black
Looks like the devils hearse in black
Aus police got the old spec iirc no flappy paddles, and pre face lift

Here is 10 for sale and look likes aus got 50. http://www.carsales.com.au/car/volvo/s60/polestar-badge/ Some look like r designs with polestar wheels and some look like they don't have big brakes? All strange pre production models
The OZ police have been given one of the small number of the earlier 'polestar' cars that were intended to be assembled from kits in that market. At the last count very few had been sold due to the greedy, optimistic and uninformed price asked for them. They are all in the pre facelift garb which cannot help and have a lower spec than those 'polestar 2s' whose limited production run has just started. There again here in the UK and elsewhere the price for the better specced facelifted 'polestar 2s' is just as daft.... but hey hoe, one born every minute. They should make a sensible purchase here in the UK in a couple of years for £20,000 or less. Don.

What spec where they? No big brakes
