I think it works because it's different. It's not meant to be a traditional review. Maybe the kids get paid to argue …

Otherwise, I think the exterior of this thing is on of the best crossovers out there, esp in that stunning Terra Bronze metallic OR the funky Lime-Grass Green metallic . The interior it modernized (but typical) Volvo-quirky... which I do like. (two tone please) As for the Q5, it's a liltte plainer on the outside (in a nice way) but with a sleek German interior on the inside. I could see myself looking at either one. Who's up for a test drive? I guess my only real complaint about the XC60 (and Volvos in general) is that their gas engines have mediocre mileage for their output compared to other companies.

I agree with CarResearcher that the Q5 has nothing on the XC60. The XC60 doesn't look or feel entry level like the Q5. I'd skip the collision nanny and the bronze paint that somebody thinks is cool for all new car releases. Has anyone seen a crossover review with all the new players? It would be good to see a real review of this car without all the press release safety talk. I don't care about the safety features or fuel economy - just tell me about the car.

More substance is needed. I get what that are trying to do, but they are so focused on the little jabs that they forgot to review the car. This was the first "battle" I bothered to read and will be the last. Agree with muttonchops. More substance is needed.

Not transcripts from a reality show about two divorced peoplle who hate each other yet are also in the same car together. This needs to go away. They spend all of their time taking un-funny swipes at one another and referencing past events we don't care about and no time actually reviewing the car in any meaningful way.
