Is it true that the S60-R is a limited producted model?

Someone told me that 2006 is going to be the last year that the S60-R will be in production (due to lack of sales...)?

Is this true?

Thanks,

i strongly doubt 2006 will be the last year of the R...

I am not sure what you mean by limited production... it is produced in lower numbers than the others

 

I notice around here where i live that each delearship got only a couple(i think only one).

 

well many have fewer in stock because auto dealerships dont like to have lots of expensive stock on hand. so it is cheaper for them to have one R that is used for test drives and then get people to order them

 

Many have fewer in stock because there are less produced

I live outside of Philly, and the closet an R could be located with the equip. I wanted was in Pittsburgh. And that had a diff interior color than what I wanted (turned out for the better though). I rarely see an R in my area.

I did a quick search, it looks like Volvo produces 7500 s60 and v70 R's worldwide yearly.

I've also read in other forums that the R will be discontinued, but havent read anything official.

 

s60 where do you live? I see multiple Rs on a daily basis, there are tons around this part of philly...

 

I NEVER see R's in my area. I live in Austin, Texas. The only R that I had seen prior to my purchase was at the 2005 Austin Auto Show. But since then, never. I go to Dallas from time to time and still dont see any around there either. I hope it stays that way. I had a 2003 Infiniti G35 coupe and hated it because everyone has one. S60R's are a little known secret and I hope it stays that way.

 

I'm actually in Lower Bucks...Middletown. I've only seen a couple. How about u?

 

right now i am in manayunck, but i am moving to doylestown shortly... I work over in berwyn right by Keystone, so I see tons of Rs over that way
