Volvo sealed their fate as far as my next car being one is concerned when they stopped selling the Polestar Engineered models in the UK (MY23), as such, my next car will have to be either BMW or Porsche (more likely Porsche as an X5 50e now costs similar to a Cayenne E-Hybrid so may as well go with the better car) in order to get a car that drives how I like them to drive.

I had to double check the numbers but a base Cayenne with my options was about £78k before any discount (some people say you can get a bit off them but not tried) and an Inscription XC90 B6 was £70k. Porsche finance is too expensive but the residuals are stronger so it so of evens out.
Volvo are just getting over confident about what they sell especially with the XC90 which is an old platform which should be cheaper than it is. Another brand for me next time too.
