Volvo V60 Polestar Runners-up: Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, Ford Mustang GT
How in the hell does 707 HP NOT beat out a Volvo wagon on steroids, no matter how much better it might drive...or how absolutely stunningly sexy it is in that blue.... 
. You guys check your pants recently? 
Shriveled? 
Hiding in fear? 
WTF happened here... If you want to prove me wrong, by all means, next time they have both as press cars in MB, invite me over, I'd be more than happy to make an opinion based on fact rather than HP numbers alone. Really...I have lots of holiday time left...LOTS...I'd be happy to drive both for a week or so. 
Oh yeah; F150 FTW! Whoo-hooo!! 'bought time someone got THAT right! 
As someone that enjoys beating the
out of cars around bends at high speed on the track, and when it's warranted on an open on/off ramp, I can see why the Polestar beat the Hellcat.
The Polestar is one of the nicest all round vehicles in existence. If you're never driven one, I can understand why you may feel this way. I have a ton of track and race car experience. I could really care less for HP numbers. That's not what it's about for me. It's about the entire package. The Hellcat is honestly very, very low on the list of cars I'd ever want to own. It's not because I have a shriveled penis or balls... it's because I actually care about things like handling, steering, style, and design. The Hellcat does nothing well except go fast in a straight line. It's fun for about 11 seconds.
I can tell you this, caning a V60 Polestar Wagon leaves me with a grin from ear-to-ear, like, I literally cannot stop smiling after a decent set of twisties or hitting a ramp on a deserted night and then merging onto the empty highway. It's a fantastic car. I cannot wait to actually track the thing with proper tires on it.
I really don't understand why the two cars are being compared in this conversation; they're entirely different. If you're looking to impress people with HP numbers and neck-breaking straight-line speed, the Hellcat is your car... and a great one at that.
The Polestar Wagon is more of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde kinda thing. In regular mode, it's as docile and plain Jane as your average luxury sedan. Hit the Sport mode and the it wakes the hell up with one of the nicest sounding stock exhaust notes I've ever heard. Think MK4 Supra but louder and angrier sounding than a Supra. It's seriously a riot to drive. Combined with one of the nicest seats I've ever planted my ass in and gorgeous, simple interior - not to mention the orgasmic Ohlins suspension from the factory - and you have my perfect daily driver.
I've driven a lot of cars in my personal life, and my professional life and I still think about the Polestar on an almost daily basis. I literally had a dream about it.
I think it would be awesome to have a day where our readers get to play around with some of the cars. It's one thing to read about them, it's another thing to experience it. I think it'd be a great article to get reader impressions/reviews on the same cars.
Cheers,
