Yep, it's good new indeed.
I wonder how fast the Volvo is compared to the BMW's and Chevy's?

No idea, probably very little as they are new in the championship. _________________

I have seen the S60, it's not the best looking car in the world, but it's not exactly ugly either.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose.
Alfa Beautiful
Seat Pretty
BMW Handsome
Chevy Nondescript (nice colour though)
Volvo Bloody Ugly

Good news about Volvo imo, and it will be good to see Robert Dahlgren compete against the top names of the WTCC. Must say I do rate Dahlgren a bit and I'm sure he will impress people when he is competing at Anderstorp.
For anyone who doubts Volvo touring car credentials, just look who won the 1985 DTM Championship, Per Stureson in a Volvo 240 Turbo ![[eek]](http://www.motorstv.com/en/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif "Shocked") _________________ Come On You Stones - Maidstone United FC

Yep, Volvo have been very successful in touring cars, they went okay in the BTCC as well.
I hope they go well, however they don't know the Yokama tyre, so they might struggle.
I hear that bio fuel can actually increase the power compared to petrol, so the Volvo could be fast despite the tyre disadvantage.

Didn't know that, although if that is the case then perhaps they could upset a few of the big boys. It will be interesting to see how they get on considering the series is going over to biofuel in 2009, which could prove very interesting indeed.

I think the series going bio fuel is good to be honest, bio fuel actually increases the bhp, so it's good as far as we are concerned.
However, biofuel doesn't fit into BMW's marketing, they prefer to concentrate on Hydrogen, so BMW could quit the WTCC.
