So, amongst other shenangins that I got into at the car show....I noticed that all the T5 models now have what they call a 'light pressure turbo'.

so that gets me wondering and I ask the sales guy when they switched the T5s from the high pressure turbos to the light pressure turbos.

He assures me that no, T models have the light pressure, T5 still has high pressure.

I point out the sign, saying light pressure. he dances around it saying that they must have just worded it wierdly.

K, I know I'm not the Volvo Goddess of the Universe (yet) but...is there even such a beast as a "T" model? come on! and don't try telling me that they are the EXACT SAME engines in there, cause they aint!!! (that and the newer t5s give out less horses...hmm)

so...anyone know what the heck? Or am I just left to confusionland for the rest of my life?

You honestly expect a car salesman to know that stuff? Now, if they had a technician there you might've had a chance...

I think the s60 is dead sexy and an absolute blast to drive with either motor.

;) I just am a sucker for cute little hatchbacks, and I have NO idea where that came from.
