"Nasty competition
Both engines are nice but they're really not nasty enough to compete with the S80's stated competition. That's the Acura RL, Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Infiniti M, Lexus GS and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Volvo has entered a competitive vice. The Asians have V6s that approach the power output of Volvo's V8. And the Europeans have normally aspirated V8s that outdistance Volvo's in terms of power. Go to their sport divisions and comparisons are laughable."

I'm not sure I agree with going transverse V8 is such a great idea. Working on something like that must be a nightmare.
