Azza85, for one thing, it doesn’t and for another thing, both of these cars came out before the Subaru Forester so it’s the other way around.

The back end looks like it’s come right off a Subaru Forrester.

I forgot – you might have to be careful with the 19″ wheels on the XC90 – I thought that the ride wasnt as good in the xc90 sport with 19″ and the car semed to dart about on the road, whereas the xc90 V8 with 18″ had a brilliant ride, but it could have been a problem with the demo. Frontman – agreed. I’ll have mine in black or silver, with an ecu flash!

The story isn’t about the C30 Mitch. Thats been available for a while. CA was just letting us know all of the R Design Volvos available in Australia.

I must be getting either old or my Doctorate in something or other, as I am continually being drawn to Volvo. Especially the wagons. The V70R could have just put itself at the top of my list. Damn.

Volvo have a very unique yet modern look about them not to mention a number odf special features but for some reason they are a car that seems to slip underneath most people’s radar.

Well I think that’s probably the first tastefull SUV with a sporty body kit. Well done Volvo. Certainly better than the BMW X5 M Sport and M Class AMG. The V70s not bad either. I really like Volvo’s R Design cars – they always seem to be just right.

and I suppose that moving the stock of spare bits after the s60R was discontinued in the US this year had nothing to do with it. If the seats in the bigger cars are from the s60R (they wouldnt fit in the c30,s/v40), they would be worth some extra loot. Supposedly designed by orthopods, brilliant for short or long trips.
