None of the new specs will include the key options (for me anyway) used on the Polestar Engineered models as these will apparently be left for the Polestar brand to use on their fully electric cars. As such, any replacement of our current car will not be in the Volvo brand so looks like I will be heading elsewhere for my next car.

Oh well, back to the drawing board trying to find the next workhorse I suppose!!
I'm with you I managed to order a new Polestar about 2 weeks before they discontinued it, I went for it as it was a great rival to my other choice M340i the deal and overall package was much better in the Volvo but if the Polestar is no more this will be my 1 and only new Volvo.
