Looking forward to this myself! As for the wheels, I ordered my R-Design last Friday, and it's Cratus alloys as standard for MY2010

My 2010MY V70 2.0d RD is on order, due early Sept. The brochure says Cratus only but the dealer said it is likely to come with Fortuna due to the supply issues mentioned elsewhere - I'm not bothered as I like both but it seems odd that they can't tell you for sure what wheels it will come with when you order a brand new car!

Oh well, I like the look of both, so it will be interesting to see which wheels are fitted when mine arrives in October

Picked up my my2010 2.0D R design yesterday and it came with the 18" Cratus wheels as brochure. Look very nice on a black car.

I was in the dealer today doing some scrappage paperwork, he showed me an R design in titanium ready for delivery.....it too had the cratus alloys

I've got my car now and confirm it does have Cratus wheels as per the spec guide. One gripe is the lack of protection. The tyres (Pirelli P-Zero Rosso) have no rim protection bead or recess so the first thing to touch a kerb will be the wheel rim - I'm pretty careful but I wouldn't be surprised If I end up with quite a few kerb marks before too long. Anyone else have different makes of tyre and do they have rim protection?

My new V70 is at the dealer undergoing PDI, it's got the Cratus too. Roll on Tuesday when I pick it up
