Early January 2022, I get a call from the dealer to the effect that: -
Volvo have cancelled the order and are not building the car to the requested spec, because they have "changed their range". I can have either a FWD only with a 360 camera OR an AWD but not with a 360.......AND the lead time is now 8 to 9 months.

The dealer went on to say that Volvo are offering only 3 models in the range and each model has a limited number of options.

I checked this with another dealer in the area; and yes, this is the case.

I have ordered a Mazda. Volvo appears to want to go the way of SAAB and with service like this, probably will. What a shame.
It is due to the worldwide shortage of electronic parts they had to redesign the models and options to allow them to sell more cars ... You just decided to buy one at the wrong moment in the middle of changeover .
