Does anybody know if the 2007 R will have a smaller turning radius then the current R?

Why would it? It's the SAME car. No new engine, wheels, or anything else.

A 3 point turn never hurt anyone ...

Re: (Balve)

You mean a 7 point turn?

Is the 2007 R even fully happening? I've talked to a few people and 1 said that there wont be a 2007 R and the other said it will be EXTREMELY limited release.

Officially announced? Did I miss it? Where? When? By whom?
I've checked the Volvo US site, the Canadian site the UK site and there's not mention of a 2007 R. In fact, the are still showing MY2006 R.

Can you post a link to the official announcement please.

What is this? in the 2007 oversea delivery feature list: Lights, "Follow me home"

I always tend to wonder where these 'type' questions come from.

It's the same "Follow me home" feature that has been on every S60 since it's debut in 2000... Once parked and key is removed from ignition you pull back on your high-beam/turn signal stalk and the exterior lights (including headlights) come on for 30/60/90 seconds (default is 30, can be changed by dealer).

NICE! and my salesman still failed to mention it to me.

It's called RTFM... (Read The F***** Manual)

Sounds like you got the 3 C's delivery...

C your keys
C your car
C you later.

Happens all the time. My mother got an 850 back in the 90's and drove it for 8 months before figuring out the "glass window" (uh, sunroof) actually OPENED!

We still make fun of her for that.

No, I was referring to the original post.
I just wonder why someone would ask kind of a stupid question such as that? It appears one would have to have underlying interests...i.e. being a smart-ass.
Firstly, why would it have changed? Did the entire car's platform change? This would take quite an undergoing.
Secondly are you NOT going to buy an R because of a few extra feet?

Just sounded like an ignorant question to me.
