Default Age Poll of XC60'ers

Volvo designed the XC60 to appeal to all age groups in the hope of attracting new customers and keeping loyal customers happy with a new design which seems to have worked.

Out of interest, would fellow XC60 'ers mind if they answered the attached Poll giving rough indiciation of their ages - we could give Volvo the results and who knows they might invite us all to their factory for a tour and few expensive pints on them (Wishful thinking)

Just voted, but turned 45 yesterday, so I could have tipped the poll either way!

I hope having mine on order qualifies me to vote. If not, I just botched up the statistical accuracy of the poll.

If ordered and waiting feel free! Hopefully even if a long lead time will not affect Poll too much and depress if moving into the next band!

Might the age have something to do with the affordability

I know that when I was younger - a lot younger - a posh expensive auto was not on my radar - just glad that I am old enough to be able to afford it now - though if I could be 21 with a car like this .......

Not IMO.

If a 30 year old earning a good income is single he will probably buy a sports car. If his friend from school of same age and similar earnings is married with 2.4 kids he may choose the XC60 as more practical

If only!

Tinted windows, a few cushions, duvet and would see how durable the roof was for high heel marks and how flat the seats would go!
