I live at Jacksonville Beach. If you see a white streak fly by than that's my S80 T6! love Row's IGA at Beach and Southside. Jacksonville is serious Volvo territory! Here at Jacksonville Beach area Ponte Vedra I see tons of fellow Volvoers. I will keep my eyes out for your Yellow 850. Is it T5R yellow? June
yes its yellow. yeah Rowes is awesome. Wife shops there for us alot. My Daily driver is a 2017 White Chevy 2500 with a 16 ft enclosed white trailer. lol

I have had a new V60 for a couple of days now as a Service loaner and it really reminds me of my 98 V70. Only a bit smaller, but handles and drives way better! I love the front end! It's made in Sweden too! Check the vin# starts YV so Swedish built. Not expensive either... June
First good news I've read while researching the replacement of my 1995 850 turbo wagon with another wagon.
To clarify, you posted about getting a new 2020 V60 wagon? But not labeled "cross country?"
I'm confused about which models are wagons, in which years. There was a wagon not labeled "cross country?" Did they ever have a "wagon" and a "cross country wagon" in the same year?

A review of the 2019 V60 says the acceleration is sluggish & handling not so good. What is your experience of the 2020? see:

A V60 is a wagon. ALL V60s are wagons.
There is a V60 version / trim called the CC. It has taller springs ,black plastic wheel arches, some sill trim under the doors, and it costs more.

There were no American-built Volvos.
