Default XC60 D4 Ocean Race

Here are some pictures of my XC60 D4, Ocean Race , MY2016

(We also have a XC60 2,0T auto, I believe MY2011
and a XC60 D4 Ocean Race manual MY2013.)

first impression : I really like the looks and options, included in the package. The new engine is very smooth and the auto gearbox feels good in comparison to the the old 2,0T, which is too nervous.
The sound-quality of the Harman Cardon : Not that impressive, in comparison to the normal premium sound that I have in the old D4.
The old Ocean Racer had a sail-rope to close the booth-cover, too bad they changed that.

The quality of the leather included in the Ocean Race package is also of lower quality than the normal leather package. I an in the leather business so know what I am talking about. Though I doubt that everyone feels/sees the difference.

In my view, Ocean Race edition must be in blue....nice car either way but blue makes it more distinct and unique....then D4 needs to be discretely introduced to Polestar...(I know the crazy road tax system in Belgium, I lived there)

I really don't like the Blue color. The reason for OR has nothing to do with my love for boats, but more for the combination/price of the options. Didn't want the blue, was afraid of the black (scratches, always dirty), therefor the grey.

I am not sure that the Polestar is such a big step forward with only + 10HP. And if you lived in Belgium, you now that this region is congested as hell.
