How they sell here in the UK really does depend on just how these cars, whatever their merits, are priced.

Rumour has it that it could be close on £70,000...at that price VCUK will have egg all over their faces as have Volvo in Australia with their similar 'polestar' limited edition that has had few takers.

Most will probably be registered by Volvo UK and their dealers and discreetly sold on for whatever the UK used market really values them vis a vis their competition with real provenance ........ just like the S60R and V70R.

My guess is there will be very few to dump that amount of cash down on a volvo? i could be wrong?

The performance of the car is ridiculous , i would love to have one. But then again we are talking about a lot of money. I personally think with the parts and performance its worth every penny. thats just me
