Almost Makes the Grade - 2015 Volvo S60 Long-Term Road Test
No, the 2015 Volvo S60 isn't quite up to 3 Series or C-Class standards. And there's nothing wrong with that. The S60 offers its own mojo, for a lot less dough.

Plus, you can get great lease deals on Acuras due to their high-residuals. Until the S60 gets updated to the level of the XC90 or S90, it will be on very few people's radar, and why would you consider it over an Acura TLX? I think the Volvo needs at least a $5000 price cut.
Here are the performance results of the S60 vs Edmunds LT 328i xDrive GT
0-60:
s60: 6.0sec, 328: 5.9sec
1/4 mile:
S60: 14.3@99, 328: 14.3@95.5
Slalom
S60: 64.4mph, 328: 64.8mph
So there is no need to spring for a 340 when the "less powerful' 328 easily matches the performance (and price) of the S60
