~ the interior quality has been revised for '07.

I also test drove and sat in rear seats of the XC90 recently.
I did not find teh ride so thrilling as compared to X5.
The rear seats felt a little smaller than X5, I mean the depth felt less than X5, and I do not have long legs.

I sat in an XC90 at the dealership. I hated it.

However, this one looks nice. I am wondering if the one I sat in was the basic model.. hmm

I also am looking at the XC90 for my wife. Whats the deal w/ the 11k discount...is this typical or only for this model and dealer?

for my thoughts on volvo.
don't do it.

I'm guessing the dealers are having just a *little* bit of trouble moving the cars off their lots.

Volvos are great. Just like every other car. That is, until the new car novelty wears off. And then you've got to grow up and learn to make friends with your service advisor and tech because you'll be seeing them frequently.
