None of the above.
I dislike the floating console intensely, almost as much as I hate touch screens.

I like to be able to find a button without looking. The XC90 was the last bastion of good buttons, and now that is ruined too!

I've not owned or driven any of the new models but I'd like to get my hands on a 2017 S60 Polestar, 0 - 60 in 4.5 seconds, 362 horsepower, and 347 pound-feet of torque going to all four wheels

One can but dream!

I see there was no 850R on the list which, would have been my choice.

I don't really like many new mainstream cars (just feel they are badly built chasing profits and designed to break).

But, from the poll I chose the XC90 (T8 obviously). This is because the T8 looks great for a 4x4, its doing what the other competition is doing with a mix of petrol/electric engine giving a pip over 400bhp.

Nice car, but shame it's a four cylinder. My (extremely lucky) mate has the older 3.0 version in the V60 Polestar (the genuine all singing all dancing polestar) and it is an absolute beast of a car. It sounds like a Ferrari 355 on start up and hard acceleration.

I cast a rare vote for the V90. It is estates for me and the V90 is a distinctive, sleek, cool car.

How do I answer 960?

I don't like front wheel drive cars with lots of power.
