I'm just curious on how the XC feels with the new 6-speed tranny. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
Wish this option was available worldwide. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/unhappy.gif

I didn't even know this was possible.  I knew some markets got the 5spd.  Is the 6spd the same spaceball shifter that's in the R?  Can one choose between a 6spd and 5spd?  The XC doesn't seem performance oriented enough to take advantage of a 6th gear.

yeah, I didn't know until earlier this week too. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif
It's available in Europe for sure.
Here's a shot of the "build your car" webpage.
ahhh.. if only they are available here. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
