    Hahaha!  20 cars and you have to pay $1,100 a month to subscribe to it?  PASS.  You can get an M3 for less money and blow this thing away.  Or an Alfa Romeo Guilia, or a C43, or C63, etc.

    None of those are AWD hybrids, only the C63 has more torque, none will get better mileage.  This is the Volvo version of a Model 3 dual motor that comes with insurance and maintenance in the monthly payment.  Try getting any of the cars on your list (except the C43, that's not even a valid comparison) for $1,100 a month including insurance. … and still be able to drive in the HOV lanes in California and NY.

    You can lease a C43 or CLA45 and buy a lot of gas and insurance and still be cheaper than this S60.  Or you could get a Tesla Model S for that kind of money.    Plus there are only 20 of these Volvos available for the whole year which makes it about 10 times more rare than an Audi R8.  More rare than an AMG hyper car.  

    Plus I believe the subscriber ida does not work unless it is done as a ride share on autonomous cars.

    You can believe what you like.  All 20 are already sold out.

      Las Vegas is a resort.  Yes ... point taken.  I've gotten safes in some FL hotels that could hold a 14" to 16" laptop and other stuff layered in.  It comes with the territory that, when there are resort fees, there will be other cheesy ways to jack up the tab. The issue I'm lamenting is when there isn't one in the room, yet the location and price point call for it.

      Add the deceptive safe thing with the deceptive Fridge in Room that is useless as the fridge is stocked with their own drinks and if you move anything to use the fridge, they charge you for it even when you do not drink their stuff. They might as well NOT say there is a fridge in the rooms. Las Vegas is terrible for this having the advertising of safes and fridges in every room, but the Safe is a joke, barely able to hold a passport and wallet and the fridges are stocked with for charge stuff, so there is no Fridge for use by the room renter.

      @Robert Hall  Thank you.  There is now some "advertising" in hotel websites calling out a "laptop safe" when it's bigger than a regular one.  What is really off-putting is when it's a brand of hotels that should have in-room safes ... and they don't.  Or, worse yet, when the description shows that there is a safe and, then, it's not there because the website description hasn't been updated: they're either transitioning to another model or they've removed them altogether.

      When I've traveled for work in recent years, I keep my laptop with me in my backpack usually, since I'm traveling between the hotel and the office..sometimes I'll leave it in the room when I go out for dinner or drinks after work for a few hours.    Haven't seen a hotel room safe big enough for a laptop.   A couple times in the past when I've had a laptop on vacation, I put the backpack in the trunk of my car if I'm going out of the hotel for all day or something.   My most recent vacation/road trip I only took my iPad, less bulky than my laptop... I'd put my wallet and iPad in the room safe when I'd walk down to the beach w/ my phone.
