The next-generation S60 sedan has been selected as the first vehicle to be produced at the upcoming factory. That may sound odd, considering SUVs are the hot ticket currently, but the plans were finalized in 2014 when sedans still reigned supreme. Volvo will choose the second vehicle to fill the South Carolina plant this year. Volvo plans to produce up to 60,000 S60s for...

Lexus’ fifth-generation LS introduced for the 2018 model year has now received its F-Sport package, though before you get too excited note that this isn’t a dedicated performance car we’re talking about.

  • 2017 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar
