I read an article that Volvo will not be doing a major redesign of the XC90 as originally planned in 2010, but rather a modest styling update and that the XC90 will be discontinued after the 2012 model year. This is due to Volvo not being able to find a suitable hybrid engine to improve the mileage figures.

I find it hard to believe that Volvo would give up on the XC90. I know that SUV sales are down dramatically and perhaps that is the real reason, if in fact the story is true.
