When we ordered out X5, the XC90 had atleast a month wait. We got our X5 in under a month. I'm sure I wouldn't be here if Volvo put the XC90 in production earlier.

Looking at a XC 90 for wifey. 05 with 60k miles. Has the 6 banger tho. We are test driving it on Saterday. Do all of the 6'ers have twin turbo's?

Yes, all the 04 and 05 XC 90s with the bigger straight six engine have twin turbos. I have an 04 with 80,000 miles on it and overall its not bad. Terrible mileage, I usually average 13 MPG. They also decided to put a 4 speed transmission in it which is just awful. Mine blew at 60,000 miles, but Volvo decided to replace it for free, since they have a class action law suit against them for that transmission. Other than the pos tranny, its a pretty good car. Before you buy the turbo 6, just google XC90 T6 transmission.

No problem, let me know if you have any other XC90 related questions.

I had one also (2005) and it would really go with the twin turbo six. I was dead scared that the tranny would go in it. You should really drive one it has a strange power delivery with very little low end power you have to rev the crap out of it to make it go. My X is 100 times better...
