No one has mentioned the new Volvo S60 T-5 yet, 2.4L 247hp, I think it is available with a manual.

Update: Curb weight < 3200 lbs!! This thing might be hot
There are also rumors of Volvo coming out with the S60 "R" which is supposed to be competition to the S4 ... AWD w/ 300 hp STOCK... Let's see if the rumors hold up.

hehehe did you notice how they got the extra horsepower? same way as Hondas...
they simply increased the redline to 5600 from 5200. If you keep spinning the motor up, you get more horsepower...it may or may not be useable but it's legitimage horsepower. If you look at the difference in HP between..say a Celica and Celica GT-S, the ONLY difference is the higher redline...that's where they get the extra HP.
The fact the torque is identical indicates that there is no other difference.<p><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/carssmall4.jpg">
