I do like the car, but I don't think it will be suitable for me. I'm feeling a bit down now. I shouldn't have set my heart on it, but I do like my Volvos. I have owned more Volvos than any other make of car.
What about this?



It's a Heico suspension package that raises the car's height substantially.

The local Volvo dealer tried to interest me in it, but I didn't want to spend the extra money and the CC is sufficiently tall for me.
