    The 4.4 V8 has 310bhp at 5850rpm and 324 lb.ft at 3900rpm, good for 0-60 in 6.9 and onto 130mph. You'll get a mpg figure of 20.9
    My question is why would you want that instead of an S80 V8? Unless you've had 5 children that is... But then you need a small bus not an SUV...
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    Heh heh. If I find it, I'll sell it to some Chelsea mum and buy myself a 7!

    Sell it to a collector who will keep it locked up until it becomes the worlds most ironic classic.

    Guess Volvo is trying to get rid of that "my car is very boring and I love it" kind of idea.

    They should have stuck to it, its a waste of money trying to convince people otherwise.
