Well I look forward to your review !

One guy on FB just posted pics of his newly arrived 2018 XC60 R-Design....as in the new model!

I visited Gothenburg last week and they had a new xc60 in the visitor centre, along with obviously many on the factory tour.

I was very impressed, inside feels very much like the 90 series but the exterior seems to flow nicer than the more square edged xc90.

I am not a car reviewer so will not pretend to be but it was as good as I had come to expect having been in the 90 on various occasions (and that is not a bad thing) my only concern would be the price, we all know our heavily discounted current xc60 was not going to be repeated and I need to wait for the FWD manual to be released (I do agree with someone else's comment about how the manual stick will work at the centre are height), I think for the UK the 40k bracket will be frustrating as well as if my rough maths are correct the spec I want will be just over 41k so to add 2.5k on over the 5 years does make you think.

It's actually £310pa (£1550) over five years, but the point is well made.
Also, any new car model will have negligible discounts over the first 12 months or so.

Yes, its Face Book. Unfortunately I cant link it as its a closed group....one has to be a member. But its on Volvo Owners UK and its a 2018 XC60 R-Design D5 in Bursting Blue and has 21" wheels.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, sounds nice, 21" wheels not for me though, I would prefer 18" silver finish but can't be done with the spec I'm interested in, so it's probably going to be 19" diamond cut, look nice but not so durable.
