[QUOTE="FastPhil7, post: 8746392, member: 88520"] Your right on the Tranny, had 8 cars on my list, this is one of the few 6spd auto, but the pontiac site (or my sales guy) did not mention the bluetooth, not sure why. One thing I really like was the large backseat, this is important to me and it had tons of legroom due to indentions in the front seat, but in the end the G8 was just not for me after I drove it. AWD was an important factor, SHO was due last week, but still no dice, fingers crossed it will drive like I anticipate to, with the hope that the D3 platform will be close to its Volvo origins... will see soon enough. Agree on the turbo / auto, last Volvo came standard with stall converter that allowed 1800 rpms from a stop in order to get full boost almost instantly from the turbo, worked extremely well. Stock it went 5.6 0-60, and weighed 300#s less, so if the Taurus is in fact in the low 5s with more weight, it would seem Ford is making the most of the most of the available boost... Phil [/QUOTE]
