I'm 35 and pick up my 2007 XC90 3.2 SE tomorrow, so not that old yet!

I'd been seriously considering a 2007 BMW X5 3.0si, and when I mentioned to the sales manager that the XC90 was also a possibilty, he looked at me and said "your far too young for that"
TBH, prior to that comment i'd never really been exposed to the 'old mans image' of Volvos, just the "Big and boxy, but safe" idea.

I've got 5 BMW's and 1 Merc (all 70's and 80's models) and my wife has a Toyota Avensis, so the XC90 should be the perfect family car (2 kids and another on the way) - As mentioned previously, trying to pack a car to go away for 1 day - 2 weeks with camping equipment and two kids (and all their toys) is like playing a very stressful version of jenga and I hate it (especially repacking to get home), so the XC90 could/should be perfect!
