truffles1 - Thanks for your informative input. Was not sure about the 3.2 I6 engine when I ordered my XC90. However, still would not make any difference because I can't afford a V8 anyways

Factory order, rather than taking one from stock, which dealers don't like to do. They want to move floor inventory that they have $ tied up in.
 
We ordered Premium, Convenience, and Climate Packages, 18" wheels, Bi-Xenon lights, BLIS and All Wheel Drive.
 
Christmas present for the wife, exactly the way she wants it. Red bow on top will be gratis.

Volvo has no plans to use any Ford engines.
Volvo does make a 281 hp Turbo 6 engine that may or may not find its way into the XC90.

Volvo is quickly leaving the turbo world after many problems.
Volvo has been building turbo engines since 1981.
They have been quite reliable. Usually, the only issues w/ the turbos come as a result of owner neglect or misuse.
Volvo has a brand new 3.0L I6 turbo engine that delivers 281hp.
This engine is in the S80 T6 and will be in the XC70 and V70 next year.
Also, the Volvo Diesel, the D5 is a turbo powerplant.
Expect to see this engine in less than 2 yrs in the US.
As you can see, Volvo isn't abandoning turbo powerplants.
