i have ordered a XC 60 D5

Hi, US folks!

I am a swedish guy that have ordered my first XC 60, and i am worried!
I work very close to Volvo, i live in gothenburg, and the rumour is that Volvo is going to quit selling in the US.

The reason is obvious, they are doing something like 7000 USD loss on every vehicle delivered to the states!

Believe me, this is going to crash!!

Sorry for you guys living in the states, maybe i will start exporting these lovely cars to you...

I have driven the ´XC 60, and i love it, just waiting to put the keys in my own in november this year!

:eek: Boy o boy, I certainly hope THAT doesn't happen. Lets just hope that Volvo/Ford can turn the company around before it comes to that.

You Might want to read this article published in Forbes two days ago.

My dealer was scheduled to have an XC60 on display this weekend, but just notified me that the event has been cancelled. I hope that Volvo and my local dealer can ride out the depressed market.

I'm planning on ordering one the second it hits the marketplace so I hope this isn't a sign of whats to come.

Anyway, there are two new XC60 video's out if you are unaware: one is a car review in the UK and the other was taped a few days ago in Scarbourough, Massachusetts, on the XC60 tour.

Enjoy
