They had a couple new 2011 S60s on display - very pretty. The used Volvos on display at MacDonald Volvo were mostly 2005+, not heavy on any particular model, a distribution of C30s, V70s (both), XC70s (only newer), XC90s and S60s. I saw a couple 40/50 models.
Surprisingly, many new body style V70 models (3.2 6-cyl) were out there under the sky, waiting for a new owner. They must be coming off 3 year leases now.

And you were able to resist taking one of the new S60's for a test drive?!

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."

My dad was there to drop his S80 off for VIDA diagnostics*, and I was picking him up/loaning him my 850. With a kid and a business, I have no time for test drives of cars I would feel very uncomfortable borrowing the money to buy.
Well, no time yesterday for that.
I'm sure I'll hop behind the wheel and use my I'm Here To Report Only mindset to resist the temptation to sit down at a sale rep's desk afterward.
I do owe it to the forum to compare not only the new S60 to our new (to us) 04 V70R, but to compare the V70 to my 850T5... hammer out a big old piece going over three generations of Volvo workhorses.
*His otherwise very capable, inexpensive local mechanic who does repairs out of his home garage has no VADIS/VIDA, oddly.
