XC60 AWD out in the Wild

I thought I'd share a quick pic I recently took of my XC60 AWD in its natural habitat

That’s still on tarmac, despite 5mm of light snow. I was expecting a photo with a scene more like this.

I've just bought the same model and colour and was thinking about tinting the rear windows. Your picture has made up my mind and will be doing so as your car looks good.
Also need to refurb the Alloys so may go for a darker colour.

Great car to drive though. Effortless, especially as I moved up from a 2003 V70 which I loved driving.

To me the "Savile Grey" pearl paint is an intriguing colour and definitely more Blue than Grey, which I like. As for the "B" pillar back tint, my one was specked with it from new, they are quite dark and while not a deal brake I like having them, especially in the summer.
Ironically I was originally on a hunt for a XC70 D5 AWD of similar age & speck to my XC60 and stumbled upon it by pure chance. I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised, although I still keep looking at XC70s for some unknown reasons.

Enjoy your new steed.

6" of snow here but Crossclimates and AWD have handled it all with no issue

Even rarer.... a mating pair of XC60's in the wild.

9 months after this picture was taken, the XC40 was announced...

I think the Milkman was involved in that creation.

BTW ... this is Automotive mating in the wild.
