I had to select S80, as that is the only car in the range, which appeals to me at the moment, but isn't that, what I want...

Why do you think there are so many deals on them.

The V70 (a proper estate car) is 2nd in the poll has 10 times the amount of votes as the V60. Definately send this to Volvo.

Well maybe we're not the target audience, but it does beg the question who is...V60 has a small boot and no spare tyre. I like it, but that's a deal breaker for me in this fantasy selection poll.

Volvo should have done a family-friendly XC50 like a Yeti but with 7 little seats. Surely that would have sold really well?

Well I've fancied a fully loaded V70 for years, and now I've got one!

I'm sure if money was no object I'd be able to squeeze a few more optional extras in it, and I'd be highly unlikely to choose the engine based on fuel economy and tax, I'd have a beast!

Saying that, if money was really no object I'd probably have a fully loaded XC90.... and a Range Rover, and an Aston Martin, and a Bowler Wildcat, and a warehouse full of pristine classics

Might send it along to the Volvo Ireland MD and tell him to get on it..! I'm confident Volvo sold more than 10 cars in Ireland during 2012

Surely this poll mainly reflects used car buyers' preferences? The S/V60 are doing very well in the lease / company car market I think.

Volvo no longer make either of my cars (a 5 cylinder 250BHP T5 or 5 cylinder 300BHP R) and nothing they currently make has me inclined to want to change.

Added all V70/XC70 have an electronic switch inplace of a proper handbrake;
99.9% are automatics - Ok I could specify manual if buying new - but would not buy new - depreciation in first year.....

However, in the mood of the poll :- Manual D5 XC70- nearest incarnation to current R

Cheers

Bob
