Most of the reasons you mentioned for trading your car seem valid, but gas milage isn't one of them. You weren't satisfied with the gas milage from a 3 liter inline 6, so you go to a V8 attached to a vehicle that is at least 1000lbs heavier?

I also have a Volvo S60 2.4T, so don't take this as a Volvo bashing post. I think they are very good cars, just a different focus.
