Replying to: stevewa (Dec 21, 2004 9:57 pm) If the underlying structure isn't strong enough an airbag won't be enough. As for Volvo's and the environment. A 244 pollutes more just sitting than the ULEV II V8 does running. A PV544 is nowhere near as efficent as an S40 T5. Time and technology have allowed for more performance and better efficency. The 855 vs Cross Country argument is flawed. If you were to compare an 855 to a V70 that would be better. The V70 is more powerful, more refined and more efficent.

I am looking for feedback on whether or not this would be considered a reasonable purchase price for the XC70, 2005 model. This would be a factory order car. Base-32,756 Frght-685 Met Paint-387 Climate Pkg-537 Prem Pkg-2575 Conv Pkg-683 Wood St. Wheel-279 Bi-Xenon lights-602 16" Xenia Wheels-258 Sirus Sat Prep-55 HuU 850 Stereo/6 CD Changer-1032 Park Asst-344 DSTC-597 Int. Air Quality-150 Dealer Adv fee-250 $41,190 + 3% over invoice (see above prices, all are invoice) or a total of $42,425.70 This compares to MSRP of $44,220. I need to make a decision fairly quickly. Also, dealer advises that Volvo is hiking prices by $500 the first of the year. Has anyone heard that? |

Replying to: volvomax (Dec 23, 2004 5:09 pm) Is there any way to option out an XC70 to hit 6000 GVW ?

Replying to: volvomax (Dec 23, 2004 9:09 am) I just can't see the Volvo value proposition any more. And with the dollar continuing to weaken it's not going to improve in the near future...

Agreed on the Freestyle (I drove one and was impressed, with the exception of the cheap-ola interior) but I don't see how that arguement transfers into the Escape. I just looked at the IIHS ratings for the Escape, and the crash results are nothing to write home about.
