Default Agggghhhhhhhh!!!!

I was just browsing through some cars on auto trader, I was looking at this car:

And then I saw the colour of the seats

Why would you have those seats.

Those seats are awesome. But as a closet Volvo fan.......I'm allowed
R design? Looks like it. Look at the performance, you really couldn't be giving a stuff about the seats with whats under that bonnet!

Yeah it's a S60R.

True enough about performance, it's just those seats are not what you'd expect to find in a Volvo.

Not really. The R design seats are all funky, but I reckon you'd get the choice of orange if you bought new anyway. Most folk only for the black and white leather ones....only the daring go for something a little different.

As another closet Volvo fan...

That's an S60R - very different beast to R-design.

R-design is like Audi's S-line, or BMW's MSport. It's just some fancy body parts and stiff suspension.

The S60R was Volvo's brief foray into making genuinely fast cars. It's more like an Audi S4 or BMW M3.

Awesome car.

I once had a coupe with red leather seats. I've never had so much ghey p!$$ taking from all my mates, beware!

(it was even once decorated with a red leather jock strap after they'd watched the Full Monty one night)
