All right, what is the next vehicle you got to drive? Because we’re a little bit behind for the holidays, so go ahead. A little bit behind, yeah. So 2025 Volvo V60 T8 all-wheel drive Polestar engineered. And I kid you not, that is the name. Here’s the deal, folks. This is the Volvo V60, which is, yes, those Volvo station wagons that you still see running around, because even though they may not be popular here, they are back in Europe. And I will say this, Dad, they work great. They may not, depending on your views of them, of your looks, whatever, they work great for storage and all those sorts of things. This is essentially a V60 cross-country, a performance edition. And to tell you the difference, a normal V60, Dad, will go from zero to 60 in about seven seconds. This one, because it’s got some plug-in hybrid technology and it’s part of their Polestar engineered, will go from zero to 60 in about 4.3 seconds. So it really adds the oomph. Obviously, it’s got a plug-in hybrid, which gets you about 40, 45 miles on a charge. You can recharge at home if you’ve got a level 2 charger in about five hours at the most. And even a plug-in, you can just plug it into the wall with a standard outlet dad and probably charge it in about 12 hours or so. You may be a little bit longer, just kind of depending. But it’s got a 2-liter turbocharged battery. you know, engine. And obviously, once you add in that, you know, the performance piece of it, as far as the interior, Dad, it’s everything that you would expect from Volvo, right? It’s got, you know, nice plush seats. I think it’s got yellow seatbelts, part of the Polestar aspect of it. It’s got some really great brakes on it, some fun looks to it. It ran really, really well. This vehicle, Dad, as it sits… is about $73,000, which is about $20,000 more than the normal V60 cross-country. But again, folks, it is a performance-based model, and it’s also a plug-in hybrid in that regard, Dad. In terms of fuel economy, 31 combined, 74 after you factor in some of the electric aspect of it. I will say, Dad, here, this car ran tremendously well. It was really fun to drive. I believe it’s all-wheel drive if I’m not mistaken. Yeah, you did say that. Which, again, for our up-here data, and obviously we had some snow last week. We’ve got some more snow on the way this coming weekend. It’s definitely something that people value. And again, like I said, the cargo space, the interior room, For kids, as we just talked about in the last review, second row is going to be a little tight for anything more than a booster seat. I’ll just be 100% honest with you. However, if you are wanting to fit two full-size or four full-size adults, maybe a little bit tight there too, but you could still do it, Dad. Again, just kind of a different size car. But if you’re looking for a fun car, to haul kids around, haul people around, haul some cargo around. This is the car for you, especially if you’re looking for that kind of plug-in E side of things. So for folks that want to learn more, Dad, head to your local Volvo dealer, test drive it. Again, 2025 Volvo V60 T8 all-wheel drive, Polestar engineered. And when you do that, let them know that John and Richard Rush from Drive Radio and Rush to Reason sent you.
