Why is it so hard to find S70R's in the states?

I believe they were only sold overseas. Maybe Canada, but I think they only got the S70T5 SE, not S70R. Importing a car is a pain in the butt. Not really worth it for this type of car. Just get a S70 T5M and change out the seats and bumper.

I believe the S70 R has AWD, doesn't it?

I think it was optional but most have it. This post is helpful.

They weren'tt sold in the U.S. to my knowledge.

I agree just get a s70 T5M and put an R bumper from a v70R on it. Also do some engine mods and slap a 18T or 19T on it. Because I think the s70R uses one of those turbos. Also get some good tuning for it through RICA or IPD.
