Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

I am sad about v90cc. It is a great car in my opinion. I understand that majority of the country wants an suv(which i dont understand. And I have xc70, xc60, f150 and prius to compare). In terms of all EVs...well numbers are not there and I would not be surprised if soon we will see "reborn" ICE line. They wanted all electric future by 2030(?) but reality was different. Lack of normal v6 engine is also a big issue in my opinion. T6 4 cyl or now is it B6(?) Is just underpowered for xc90. T8 is a big mess and I dont want to be one to own it past warranty period.
Yet again, I guess toyota or Lexus will be in my future in the cold upstate NY

They were very aggressive in downsizing engines and moving to EVs.

I’m gonna miss cars like the V90, even though it’s way too big for my needs.

The electric XC70 is kind of a boxy odd duck, isn’t it.

Agree about new xc70. As a person that fall in love with volvo after 98v70xc and now 01 v70xc and 16 xc70 I feel like this new minivan like xc70 is far away from heritage
