XC70 T6

[S10GTA]

Do they exist? I really like my XC70, but also really want a T6.

I don't know if they ever existed however. Can anyone enlighten me?

Yep, 3.0 T6 - 304bhp - T5 is my favored choice though - that said the T6 is a really good engine

Having remembered how to Google I can see it's in the newer version, but can't find it in the older ones...

7 years selling Volvo in the UK only ever sold 1 T6.

Poor residual values, running costs and high purchase price. Additionally, everyone wants a D5 - which again, is an excellent engine

As mentioned above, power comes with a price.

Same as when they launched the V8 in S80/XC90, great unit but no one wanted it when it came to buying them new.

I'm always surprised how many V8 XC90s they sold in the UK, there are always 2 or 3 for sale on Autotrader and often with big miles. In the case of the S80 I am truly surprised they sold a single one here and I get itchy wallet every time I see one crop up.
