A friend of mine sells them here in town and the S40 and C30 are ordered three months out, and he turns over two S60s for every ES300 sold at the Lexus shop next door. They are pretty neat cars; the S40 and C30 with the T5 motor (2.5 liter turbo inline five-cylinder) are a hell of a lot more fun to drive than the Volvo of just three years ago. Unlike the other companies, Ford left Volvo's manufacturing and HQ in Sweden. autonut, Volvo is doing very well.

Until they get their liberty, there will be no success for them. Look at Aston and Jag. Volvo is the most prostituted company on earth, thanks to Ford.

Volvo just does not have the cache of BMW. I won't argue with you about the current X3, though the next one is supposed to be a lot better than the current one, according to some friends of mine that work for BMW.

Some of the earlier Volvo's were pretty awesome too, don't see them much in motorsport anymore. golf4me- Why 10k? I think this would sell pretty well 5k below the X3. Not only is the X3 one of the worst products to come from BMW ever, in both my opinion and journalists, but this looks much better, and has a lot more character. Most of that may just be opinion, but I think some would agree... Best Volvo with their new styling to date.

That would put it in the low 30's-ish, which wouldn't be awful considering a Saturn Vue can top 30k... Hmmm, better be 10k less than the X3 in the US too if they hope to sell any here.
