Aside from the S60 Cross Country, Volvo also introduced the S60 Inscription to the world during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, while the XC90 R-Design made its North American debut.

The S60 Inscription’s selling point is rear legroom, which Volvo hopes will be class-leading with the sedan. The S60 will be assembled at its facility in Chengdu, China, with exports to the United States set for this summer.

The XC90 R-Design ups the ante on the new XC90, with a range of Drive-E engines delivering up to 400 horsepower to the road through either 20-inch or optional 22-inch R-Design alloys. The XC90 will also arrive in U.S. showrooms alongside the S60 Inspiration and and Cross Country this summer.

Re: XC 90... Hey look everyone, VW finally got a midsize CUV! What do you mean "it's a Volvo"?

About the S60-Indecision (or whatever): I don't get it. If someone wants a Volvo sedan a little longer than the S60 -- isn't that what the S80 is for? About the XC90: Wow, finally! Just cut out the wheelhouse arches a bit upwards and pad them a bit inwards from the front and rear, so they won't look too ridiculously empty when you put some not-so-ludicrously Conestoga-wagon-sized rims on it, so you can lower it some six inches -- and ta-daa, the 245 is reborn.

Jeff I like the looks of this Mustang sure it doesn't look like the original but it is a nice looking car. It sure beats the looks of most of today's vehicles at least it doesn't have a huge grill that resembles a fish.
Doc423 SDC's are still a LONG way off, 15-20 years minimum.
CanadaCraig Luke24. You didn't answer MY question.
Jeff I have never bought summer tires just all season and sometimes snow tires. Up until the last few years I had 2 midsize trucks which had 15 inch tires and when I got tires the last time for both I had a choice of just 2 tires Goodyear and Hankook all season tires. Hard to get any tires size 15 and below
