good looking ride...

I don't know how heacvy it is, but it's gotta be heavier(and slower ) than my 95 max. No seriously, it's a good looking car

It should be sweet...

The current T5 S70 runs high 14's already. 5 spd, 237 hp, and ~3200lbs. The S60 is supposed to replace the S70 so it should be about the same weight. I would say mid 14's with the manual. Plus it's got the looks and a decent price.

The thing is...

Volvo wants to use the S60 to compete with the 3 series. Using a front drive chassis, they were off to a bad start from the beginning. I think it'll be a great car, but it'll never a serious competitor for the BMW.
