I left Volvo as the BMW X5 was in a different stratosphere in terms of the driving experience. I dearly hope this car measure up to the German marques in the driving stakes.
Hear, hear

I love our XC90 but the ride and steering are no great shakes. Volvo desperately needs to sort out the ride of its cars in particular.

Interestingly the springing medium for the rear suspension of the lower spec new XC90s is a composite leaf spring (the Chevy Corvette is the only other current car I am aware of that uses one). It will be VERY interesting to see how that performs. The top end models use air suspension.
