I'm due a replacement next year and due to the fact that the local dealership has gone corporate, I'll be moving to another marque. The Lexus RX400h (2nd hand of course) will more than likely get my business. We need an SUV and the XC90 D5 just cannot compete. I've been happy with the S80, we can afford the fuel bills, but it just doesn't suit our needs anymore. And as big executives go, the fuel consumption is nowhere near as good as the opposition. The Audi and BMW oil burners offer better performance and consumption. With the price of diesel, even a Lexus hybrid exec saloon offers better.

Volvo really need to sort their engines out.
