    The European reviews of the XC60 have been very good -- even Clarkson of all people! Supposedly with the new Volvos, they have improved driving feel while keeping all the other virtues. So let's test it first before we decry it. As to price, well, we all know that the MSRP is just the starting bid. Volvos go at a discount in the US. To the point where it might be smarter to lower the MSRP across the line so more people might be enticed to enter the doors of the dealership. In this sense, it would be good for Volvo to introduce a FWD XC60 with cloth/TTEC as an obtion to lower the base price -- even though most buyers will go for the leather.

    "Just because Volvo is part of Ford doesn’t mean the car is crappy and overpriced." Very true because any Volvo XC WAS and still IS overpriced, with or without Ford, despite their average (or worse) reselling value.

    I think the Saab 9-4x will rip this car a new one. If they make it. $37,200 is a bit steep.

    I also meant to mention in my post above that if Volvo brought the V70 T6 here I would buy that instead of the XC60.
