Interesting to spot this thread. We are looking at getting a second xc maybe a 60 or a 70 to become a two XC family. As I understand it the 2.5 is pretty much near identical to the 2.5 Turbo in our 2003 except for the natural progression and I hope a better transmission.
My only disappointment is the apparent lack of meaningful mpg improvement in the 13 years since our first xc. I blame the fact that in the rest of the world, Volvo sells mostly diesels so gas engines get less attention. On the flip side all the extra safety features definitely work.
