I'm a little confused. You seem OK with an Acura RL or a S60R, but it seems that you don't want the S80 3.2 (6 cylinder). Is that true? Because you can get a fully loaded S80 3.2 for less than $53K. Am I missing something?
well, hell, i don't think ANYBODY can do that.
I don't track GM rebates because they have nothing I want, but volvo can still get way up there ... what was the offer up to on S60Rs? $10k off? that's pretty darned hefty.

Didn't know that. Thanks!
I only drove a few of them (not owned), but the SHO's engines, from what I know, were pretty impressive. Would eat a good bit of oil, but for those of us with Italian car backgrounds, de nada
I'm not saying the Volvo S80 V-8 isn't worth every penny, because it's as good if not better than a loaded Caddy STS V-8 at that price. However I can get a Caddy STS V-8 with "deep discounts" and with as much if not more technology. #1 My GM discount + incentives. #2 Fly or drive to Dallas, and I could save a bundle by watching the specials, especially at the end of the model year.
I'm not saying that is what I'm going to do, but I was very surprised the S80, crossed the $55K mark fully loaded, thus it makes it out of reach for me unless Volvo, has some sort of a "fire sale" or special "red-carpet" lease deal. I guess I could keep my eyes peeled. The way I look at it is if it were meant to be, I'll have one someday.

Volvomax,
I know that for BMW, the Eurodelivery prices listed on the BMW website are MSRP, i.e. you can negotiate below those listed prices. Do you know whether the Volvo OSD prices "negotiable"?
Thanks.

If i make it to Lubbock one of these days in the near future I will have to stop in and see one in person.

Okay cool, I guess I know who to call if I need a volvo someday.

For 2007 S80, dose anyone hear anything (rumor, car magazine,..etc) that Volvo will bring in AWD for I6 at least as an option? I live in northeast US, AWD will be very much a "safety feature". I checked with Volvo HQ, they said nothing about "future plan". But Europe, and even Canada got I6 AWD, why can't US? Is this just a marketing thing?
V8 is a bit too rich for me as a family car..
Rocky
Volvo is trying to keep the cost down, and see how well the 3.2 is recieved before they spring for an AWD version.
The previous S80 was available in AWD and sold poorly, even in the mountain states.
http://www.rideroom.com/news_comments.php?id=4820
Sounded like Britain (petrol, 175 kW output, torque of up to 80 Newton metres ...). But it did say: "The model will be available on all markets, but we expect Sweden, Canada and Switzerland to be the biggest markets, followed by Russia, Finland and Germany."
Another thing I am curious about will be the side impact score by IIHS on this new s80. Volvo always has top numbers on front and rear impact (www.iihs.org). But both 2007 s40 & s60 have only "acceptable" ratings on side-impact that made them miss "Top Safety Pick 2007" by the institute (Volvo got XC90 on this list). s80 never had side impact tested by IIHS before. As a Volvo fan, I wish the new s80 will pass it with flying colors..
Volvo says the new S80 should easily live up to that standard.
I'm surprised that they're offering test drive promotions on a vehicle that's not yet in stock.

The new car is a quantum improvement over the old one.
I was even impressed with the 3.2.
The V8 stole the show, in the hands of a professional it is a very competent road car.
The active crusie control took some getting used to, not sure that I really would want it.
I'm used to properly setting up my mirrors. Most people don't. The mirrors are always pointing right behind the car, which is not what they are for.
As for the GPS, I find the displays in other cars, that are buried in the center console to be annoying. You have to take your eyes off the road to see them. Having the display at eye level is easier for me, and it is safer for everyone.
Was the new S80 V8 you drove fully loaded ?
Rocky
It was the Euro Spec version so it had a couple of options,like the laminated side windows, that the US version won't get.
Rocky
Given its price advantage over the competition, we should do very well with it

The alarm has to be set off in order to detect a heartbeat.
Yes, it really does work!
