I'd have to say a red S60 for me. I like the lines of them.

would love a polestar c30 or s60 . Volvo should make real R's again not these silly R-design things , how about a C30 with awd and the S60 R engine ! perfection:thumbs_up:

Really liking the look of the V60 at the moment, but my next Volvo will most likely be a C30 T5. Depreciation is a cruel mistress but at least it gives me access to these cars once they're 5 years old :)

I would like a V70 AWD with a D3 engine and a manual gear box. It is a shame that this combination is not available on a V70 in the UK though .
Funny enough that it is available as a XC70. Sadly I do not like the looks of the XC70.

I don't think Volvo make a V70 D3 AWD for any market. They don't seem to offer any AWD for the UK market anymore which I find very strange. What are Volvo playing at?!

If there was a none of the above option then it might show Volvo what the current Volvo owner thinks of the line up.

How about a C30 with AWD and a 4.4 V8? Put a 9V battery in the boot call it a Hybrid and claim a lying through the teeth 89g/km CO2 rating (program it to run on one or two cylinders during a "typical" urban cycle, as if any of us drive a "typical" urban cycle).

Lexus can get away with it why not Volvo ?

P.S. If I HAD to pick one of the above then it would be an S80 as (other than the XC90 and I don't do farmyard machinery) it's about as close to a Volvo as you'll get.

Last year they were still selling the XC70 as 2.0l D3 with 163 BHP and AWD.
The 2.0l engine seems to have been dropped in favour of the old 2.4l D4 with 163BHP. Other countries like Sweden, Poland, Germany, Holland, France, Italy... still get a AWD V70 version.
The UK is on a par level with Spain and Turkey now where they do not think AWD is needed.
