Looks really good ! Did not realise that they now have the bigger grill badge on, it looks a lot better. We get ours (sapphire black) next March so looking forward to it. We have had a bit of snow down here and been skidding about in our FWD german cars.

Congrats gmac, new car looks fab. Don't think I have seen a white one before and to be honest I'm suprised at just how good it looks.

I see you have the new spec Active with the colour coded wheel arches and the aluminium roof bars.......nice touches. Mine was delivered before the changes but as it's sapphire black it still looks the biz.

I have just reached the thousand mile mark with mine and still very impressed......especially in this weather, glad I got rid of the rear wheel drive beemer!!

I will look out for you in the Hamilton / Motherwell area.......I would be suprised if there was anotehr white XC90 in the area!!

And you do get used to the fuel economy!!

Looks great GMac, I could have done with mine this morning, white roads all the way from home to Castlecary. Luckily the traffic kept moving at about 20mph, otherwise I think the RWD (and my lack of skill) might have let me down.

Roll on 5th January!!

Hadn't realised that was one of changes in the specs - also see there is chrome around the bumper (air intake ?) now as well which looks good ...

For a comparison of the front on Active spec pre / post this minor spec change have a look here...(apologies gmac for the lifted picture - hope you don't mind)

I hadn't realised that either. The one I test drove was an Active to the previous spec ie grey wheel arches.

The changes to the badge & the chrome do make a difference to the look of the front of the car, could also be down to the colour.

Thanks...I am gutted today, the wife took it to her work to pose and I am stuck with her Civic.

I am really chuffed that i got the new spec, i really think it look good and the white is really nice and a little bit different.

If I see somebody in a black XC90 waving at me i will not ignore you!!!

I used to have an RX8 so anything is better fuel econony than that thing.

Cheers

Graham

The car is AWESOME in the snow. I spent last night ferrying me stranded neighbours up and down the road as they dumped theirs cars everywhere.

It took me 2 hours travel from east Kilbride to Hamilton last night, 6 MILES!!!
