I've been reading up on the S60R, and it looks like a fantastic car, except for the occasionally reported tendency for the rear end to bounce when the car is going around a corner. This sounds like a bug in the suspension control software, but you never know. I'll be curious to hear your experiences when you actually take delivery.

Meanwhile, the Subaru WRX STi people are reporting detonation issues (i.e., early gas ignition due to engine heat/pressure) in the engine, regardless of gasoline octane. I'm seriously reconsidering my desire to replace my flakey BMW until all the candidate cars that I might buy to replace it get their bugs shaken out.
