2015 S60 driveline is nice

The new B4204T11/12 engine is nice. If no one told you it was a 4 you'd think it was the T5 cylinder that has been in use (and still will be in AWD models).
It has low end torque and moves like the 5 cylinder. Its noise is a bit different but not a bad noise, just not a 5 cylinder note.
Park Assist Pilot is cool but it does not stop and throttle the car for parking, only steers and prompts you what to do. Does anyone know if that is the way it is with the other makes having this feature?

Stop Start will take some getting used to. Cars are not supposed to stall when you let off throttle and they come down to idle in my old world. It will not work in hot weather or too cold weather.
I think pulling into an intersection to wait for that gap to go left and it kills engine will take some serious getting used to.

I came away in awe of the engine and trans. That 4 banger GOES! I'm really curious how the supercharged/turbocharged 302 HP version will be.
