I just picked the 10th from the drop down list via the normal VOLVO NL invite. I used to be quite active on the NL Volvo forums, but fell out with the site owner to quit in disgust. LOL.

I've spent a few weeks looking for a replacement for my 2014 BMW X5 diesel, I'd shortlisted the Porsche Cayenne S E-hybrid and the new XC90 T8 Hybrid. After a lot of deliberation I've placed an order for new XC90 T8. I have a confirmed build 'slot' and delivery is expected July 2015.
This will be my first Volvo car, I've been a loyal customer of BMW for many years though feel that they have lost their way somewhat in terms of design, build quality and customer service. XC90 Spec is: Equipment level: R-Design T8 Twin Engine Osmium Grey (though might change to Crystal White) 20" 5 Spoke Alloy Wheels (Diamond Cut/Matt Tech Grey) with 275/45 Tyres Packs Head-Up Display Winter Pack: Heated Washer Nozzles, Heated Front Seats, Head-Up Display in Windscreen Intellisafe Pro: BLIS with Cross Traffic Alert & Rear Collision Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Aid & Queue Assist Xenium Pack: Parking Camera 360' Surround View, Park Assist Pilot - Automatic Parallel & 90' Parking Options 8m Extended Charge Cable with 3 Pin Plug 4.5m Type 2/Mode 3 Charge Cable Leather Instrument Panel and Door Tops Integrated Sun Curtains - Rear Doors Heated Rear Seats Subwoofer Carbon Fibre Inlays Tow-bar - electrically operated Looking forward to my first look at the XC90 in January. ![]() |

May I be the first to say, "NICE"!
Good choice there with the T8, as we know not many people will go, all in. |

Hi, What you're saying is very interesting. I ordered a Volvo XC90 T8 in France early October 2014 during the French Paris motor show. They provided me also with a July 2015 delivery date. There are lots of rumours in France that delivery for the T8 has been delayed to October/November. How much comfort did your dealer provided you with regarding the build slot? Thanks, JC |

People are slightly scared on French Volvo forums with presumably revised deliveries. |

I'm cancelling my order based on this information (particularly since this may be the first of many other delays) What a pity! I can have a Porsche Cayenne S E-hybrid in July. |

Tough. When did you order it?
I am hoping to stick to the plan since I was one of the first order in France. Let's see. But I agree with you, if it gets delayed I will probably cancel it for a Q7 eTron once deliveries have been announced. I need a 7-seater unfortunately. |
