The annual auto show in Chicago may not rank as one of the major events on the international auto show circuit, but it never fails to attract an important debut or two. This year was no different, with one of the highlights being the 2015 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar models. These are the first two production cars to be developed by Volvo’s performance partner Polestar, and they’ll both be in showrooms this summer.
