hmm, same press report as a year ago when the 2010 models were launched at last years Geneva Motro Show. Perhaps despite my purchase of one last July they've not been selling many?

Paul I have owned 2 Previous S80 T6's. They are great cars. I feel that Volvo get their selling price wrong, too expensive and too close to the cost of a similar BMW or Merc. They did the same thing when they introduced the V70R and S60R the sales were abismal. You can now pick up a S80 V8 2007 for
£14k with 13k miles. What a lot of car for small amount of money. The sales of the S80 V8 have been very low as well. What a shame. |

In the UK and some other European countries - yes. The V8 is still a big seller in the US. That V8 is, by the way, one of the most economical V8's ever made.

I understand the engine is produced and designed by Yamaha & Volvo, so its a Yamaha V8 engine. My Jaguar S Type R 4.2 supercharged, and on the motorway did 28mpg. I understand the Volvo V8 4.4 does about 24 mpg on the motorway. I only do 3 to 4k miles per year so consumption does not mean a lot. I would not touch a BMW ever again and would never buy a Merc. If I change is about 12 months it will be to a S80 V8 with all the bits. and hope it will have sat nav with post codes. LOL

Is the V8 a genuine Volvo engine, or one of the Ford units they farmed out (much modified by them, it must be said) to Jag and Aston, etc? I ask, because I've also heard rumours of Yamaha involvement, as stated above by Magnum. Cheers, T
