The Volvo S60 (for now) occupies a space that's somewhere between luxury and premium.
It's priced accordingly, lower than the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, although it can't be trimmed as opulently with as many tech goodies.
The Cadillac ATS is a sharper-looking sedan, although its packaging isn't as efficient.
Acura's TLX is a relatively comparable pick, and has a more-refined powertrain, although it's not as handsome as the S60.
