Shout out to Volvo for consistently making wagons for North America, even if SUVs are much more popular.
Gushing aside, this V60 T5 Momentum is the entry-level trim in the V60 family. That doesn't mean that the T5 is a penalty box, as you still get that unique Scandinavian design language both inside and out–including those awesome plaid seats–as well as the same twincharged inline-four found across the Volvo …
Mmmmm, European wagons.
I've seen a few of these recently and keep thinking it's a V90. That is a good thing.
I really wanted to test drive and possibly purchase a V60 (non Cross Country trim) about six months ago, but the local dealers won’t carry them. They will happily order one for you, but without having a chance to extensively test drive one, that was a “nope” for me. So, the GTI soldiers on in my garage instead.
Given where we are at now economy wise, I guess that was a blessing in disguise.
Dispite being in a smallish burg with a Volvo dealer, I've seen exactly one of these. Too bad, they are gorgeous.
And yes, mmmm, European wagons! I was fortunate to have a 2006 E350 wagon for a few years. Wow, what a car. Hated to get rid of it.

Is this what you were driving at the Challenge last year? Whichever Volvo that was it was hawt!
In reply to Pete Gossett (Forum Supporter) :
Know what, I believe it was.
Edit because I just checked: Yup, the Volvo arrived here October 24.
Yes, this is a lovely car.
I chased down David at the Challenge on my BMX bike to check that thing out. I hadn't been keeping up on modern Volvos, but that thing looked amazing! It had the plaid seats too. I was still creeping on it back at the hotel and took some pics.
