No More T5R

Apr 5th, 2002, 15:12

Hey Guys,

Please tell me this isn't true!

Sitting waiting for my cr to be fixed in the Local Volvo Dealership (and they did a geat job BTW) I asked the sales guy about the new V70's as they had no info on the R. Quick and simple answer over here they replaced the R with the Cross Crountry.......

Is this the same in the UK, or is it just over here in The Netherlands that they have an issue....

Not at the moment unfortunately..however!!

Next year (I believe) the S60R, and V70R will be released.

These do share a fair bit with the PCC and PCC2, featuring 300bhp as standard, however from what I've heard there will be a hefty price to pay!!

The "R" is no longer available in the UK.

The T5 remains as does the Cross Country if you need 4WD.

Hi all

New V70R due 2nd quarter next year or so I have been told
based on the PCC2 as Alex Correctly stated
(can not wait -300bhp- 6Speed-active suspension-etc)

The R AWD was what I really wanted as I really don't like the front wheels doing the work (having been driving a RWD race prespped car I like it!).

Must admit it's not going to affect me short term anyway as I am going to be looking for a car a few years old next year, it'll probably be about 4 years before it this hits me, but what a shame, they looked great and from what everyone says they are great to drive.

This new one sounds good though - on Q whats PCC(2)?

Okay, looks fun, and 300bhp certainly sounds like fun! Waiting's a pain..........
