The best and bravest course of action would be to offer (hopefully via Volvo HQ) a nationwide test drive facility - Vauxhall lent me a car for 4 days a few years ago and didnt even follow it up!

Personally I would pay to hire the car for a week as long as I got the best deal with all commission thrown back in and a fair admin/sale fee paid by me for a transparent deal. Sadly I fear the car industry will be the last to "come clean".
A bit like this you mean
