The display XC60 that has been long coming to my dealer finally arrived. I test drove it this morning. The salesperson went through all of the features, which for this model was alot since it had every package and option. The T6 has good response and gets the car moving quickly, but not that much more so than my XC70 with the T5. Very nice leather and interior. This model came with the larger moonroof, which at least for now is a no cost option if you are getting the package that includes the regular moon roof.

The car is taller than the XC70, almost like the XC90. It is shorter than the XC70 by about four inches. The first units for sale will be at the dealer in late March. This will be a 2010 model. Volvo is back to using Pirelli's at least on the XC60. This car had 18 inch wheels.

If I were to trade my XC70 for a newer model I would certainly go with the XC60 over the current XC70.

Ditto ...

The design and dynamics are just so way beyond the "new" XC70.
