Default Rebel Blue XC60

I know this is a bit geeky, but I couldn't resist asking Volvo how many they sold of the 2013 MY XC60 in Rebel Blue, it seems they sold 100 of them in the UK.

Quite impressed therefore to have seen 4 out on the road, in addition to my own....

I wanted my V60 in Rebel Blue, Volvo refused point blank. About the only negative aspect of my purchase. Ended up with Heinz Tomato Soup Red instead.

It is possible you know. You need to choose the Polestar version.

I love it....its sooooo different, it is a bit marmite though, there's never "its alright" it is definitely love or hate.

The colour will be my main reason for holding on to the car for as long as I can....(although only just coming up 60,000 miles so should be ok for another 60,000 hopefully without too much worry)
