Well mine isn't the highest specification, but it's still around 48k.
I did think about ringing Volvo uk, but had second thoughts, don't want to spoil my relationship with my dealer.
What puzzles me is that there are various new XC60'S sitting on forcourt's around the country. Unfortunately they are either under or over spec't for me.

According to my dealer, he is still hoping get the delivery e mail this week sometime, so watch this space. Yes, interesting about the test drive, if they do have a T5 it may be yours! (Just joking)

Well I hope you have better luck than me. I've lost all confidence in my given dates now, just have to wait and see!

My dealer told me that Volvo always manufacture customer orders before stock orders from him and that's why Volvo generally improve on quoted dates. I wonder?

It will be interesting because I haven't had the chance to drive a T5 XC60 yet, if I don't like it, I might just cancel, I hope that won't be disappointed.
I cannot see you not liking it. I was more than impressed against my D5. It's quite different as you would expect but no slouch if in a hurry.

My dealer has a 3 day test drive from this Friday over the weekend. I didn't want to take the pi** so have just rang them and I'm going to arrange a test drive on coming Thursday.
It will help fill in a bit of time until that day arrives.

Yes, I know, so you'll be able to drive one, neither of us have done that so far.

Sorry mate I sometimes lose where we are with a thread, thought you might have done the same.
So yes hopefully I'm going to get to try a XC60 T5. I think it's a R design, probably a pro as well, I think it will be this Thursday, but with my record of XC60 it might not happen, but I'm sure the dealer will want to keep me sweet .
I'll report back my thoughts when I've had the test drive .
