Waiting for SWMBO to check out t Costco, I leaf through their car buying brochure. Inside the front cover there is this exact image (with the licence plate photoshopped out):
Hmmm, small, fuel efficient, AWD, hatchback space and available through the Costco Purchasing program eh? So what is it? A Volvo V40 Cross Country T5 AWD. Wait, I thought that Volvo pulled wagons from the US as well as their Cross Country lineup in favor of the XC SUV line? They did according to the Volvo website. So, is this available as a Costco exclusive? Will I also be able to get a Focus RS? How about a Civic Si hatch?
Volvo: "We're not selling any more wagons...(long pause) jus' kidding."
Expected for the US market in 2014 - V60 R-Design 329hp, 0-60 in 6 seconds.
Bet its an error and orders will not go through.

Meh. GRMers want this costco car. (Where's my lottery ticket?)
wow... Volvo wagons are getting seriously on the pretty side. I would rock either the V40 or the V60 shown here
you guys actually think that thing is good looking?
nope, i'll never fit in around here..
About a year or so ago the local Ford dealer had a big ad for a used-car-super-special-blow-out-sale-o-rama. Right in the middle of the front page was a Euro spec Focus RS 2-door in bright orange. Obviously a photoshop mistake. So I played dumb and went on down. "I want this car!" "Take my monies!" They wasted a half hour searching for it before coming up the excuse 'it's been sold'.

Hint: costco isn't only in the US
I would sell a kidney or two if I could get a 2010 focus rs in ultimate green.
