All sorted, I’ve agreed an early settlement figure with my current lease car company (lower than I expected - basically just an admin fee) and now take delivery of my new car on Friday 15th July. I cannot wait.

Thanks for the advice on here too, without it I may have turned it down without even speaking to my current leasing company.

Default Silver Dawn with Dark theme

Hope the colour works with the Dark theme, saw a basic XC60 in it a few weeks back and it wasn’t very exciting. I think it all depends on spec on the car.
Did you end up getting the car @Docs? Would love to see some pics as Silver Dawn with Dark doesn't seem to be be visible anywhere on the interwebs...

No car yet, it was built on the 30th June, dealer had the chassis no. the following weekend.
He said roughly 3 weeks to Ireland so realistically I’d expect to have it beginning of August.

Default Collected MY23 T8 XC90 today

3 months earlier than dealer initially expected, collected my XC90 T8 Ultimate dark today. Ordered in March this year, so didn’t take long. Really impressed with performance already, but a learning curve for the new Android OS

Thanks, looking forward to spending some more time with it today.

Coming from a 2018 XC60 T5, definitely feels like a step up in size and performance. I’m generally impressed with the Android OS, feels more modern and responsive, but some areas where’s it’s not great (as discussed on here by others). As a heavy user of the speed limiter, the speed limits picked up seem almost random so far (Sensus was pretty spot on).

Colour choice - initially ordered Thunder Grey, but changed my mind to Denim Blue. Really happy with the choice:

Here’s a few pics from my first trip out yesterday
