Just collect it! Wonderful car! It's a 205HP with manual transmission which I love. You can decide how to hold a gear and the performance and fuel consumption says thank you!
What I found very good is the 19inch wheels and the 4-c chassis.
In advanced the car feels very good in the bands.
So, everthything ok for the moment.

Just ran the Volvo online 'Configurator' for a new 2011 model XC70, in Flemenco Red, Manual D5 (205PS) SE LUX (4-c-Chassis, Black vented leather seats, Wood trim, Premium Audio, Bluetooth, and the DREADED RTI/GPS system, [cussing] (But thankfully I will still use my TomTom as it is still far more user friendly and superior than the Volvo RTI/GPS)

However they only list either 18 or 17 inch Wheels for the vehicle?
So not sure where the 19 inch now come from??

The 19 inch are shown on the catalogue of xc 70! Not in the configurator. So, go to your volvo dealer and ask to give you the catalogue of the car.
I have the same idea about the Tom tom,so I ordered the car without it. But it could happened that you are without it in the car when it need.
Good choice the wood trim, it's completly different from the cold steel style.

To late order is in, and I also have a FULL size 17inch Spare Wheel that cost me £350, has so far not been usewd so I can transfer from present XC70 to new XC70 and not have to try and fit 'Tempra' while going 'Off Road'

I got no choice with RTI/GPS as it comes 'Free' on 2011 Model XC70 but as I don't go without the TomTom even though the Volvo RTI/GPS is 'fixed' then I will not have a 'problem'

Must admit that the picture of your 19 Inch Wheels makes them look like 'Low Profile'?

I think the Leather Seats are now called 'Ventilated'?

I think there is a misunderstanding. Manual is meant as not automatic gear.:p
