Wating for Volvo?!?

[bruce fielding]

I was mildly interested in swapping the old V70R for something else and looked at the XC90 at the Geneva show. Just been into a dealership to be told that the waiting list is fourteen months long!!! And there's a six month waiting list for the new V70R as well!!!

Volvo? Waiting list? Does not compute... (steam and sparks now coming out of head). Is there anything else as bland out there with such a long wait?

Why not place an order and get your dealer to throw-in th e loan of T5 for the duration of the delivery period? Rich...

Volvo only put aside a vary small number of XC90's for the UK initially. The production run is severely limited which is a bit ridiculous bearing in mind that this is probably the most practical MPV/SUV type thing on the market.
