Those pictures make the car look like it's sitting very high - I wonder if it's an illusion caused by the black sills? I've yet to see a new V70 on the road though. Is the extra load capacity just due to uprating the springs / shocks - I'm surprised that little would give such an extra capacity. Mind you, if it's full that's going to blunt the acceleration more than a bit!

And the turning circle reduction, presumably that's over the previous generation rather than compared to the "public" version of the new V70?

Cheers
