I think this is Volvo plan:
No more S60, improve the S40 to take its place, and add a top-of-the line ultra-luxury Volvo to competes with 7-series, S-class, and A-8
S40 = 3 series = C-class
S80 = 5 series = E-class
Sxx = 7 series = S-class - to be introduced soon?

In either case, there won't be a 7 Series competitor.
You might see a stretched S80, but not a car in the high end class
Any experience removing the foam for more room to store tools, flares etc?
Thanks

Please Help.
I am trying to connect a JVC KDNX5000 GPS/Navigation system.
I need to find out where the cruise control module is and what color the speed signal wire is.
Can someone please help?
Thanks,
David

It really isn't.
While Mazda used the chassis design, they didn't use the hardened steel that Volvo uses.
Also, electronics, engines, suspension tuning, sound insulation, seats, interior are all different.
I am about to buy a used 2004.5 S40 T5. It has 39,000k miles, factory warranty is covered until 50k. Would I be able to purchase an extended warranty?
Did you ever find a solution for your car?
Thanks!
Volvo owner's manual indicates that models with engine code 39 (the 6th and 7th digit of your VIN #) have a fuel tank capacity of 14.5 US gallons (55 liters)
When fuel empty light is on you have approximately 2.1 gallons left.
It's not recommended that you continuously drive with tank near empty. Refuel as soon as possible before it reaches E or you risk damaging the fuel pump
It is important to note that the "usable" tank capacity will be somewhat less than the specified maximum (15.9 or 14.5 gallons) to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather, as indicated in the owner manual
Advice to everyone, any questions or concerns about your vehicle, first consult your owner manual it contains a great deal of information.
Cars stickered fairly close to each other.
Both cars show auction values between $18-20000.
On average, the TSX is a few hundred higher,but thats it.

Don't forget though that you can typically get a better discount off the MSRP on the S40 than you can on the TSX. You need to take that into account.
They can sell you an ECU upgrade.

The problem is that you will get lower performance and lower mpg - changing to a lower octane is generally a false economy and may cost you most in fuel in the long run.
The engine is designed to perform best at 91 octane minimum.
There is a section in the menu settings that allows you to enable or disable the auto door locking system.
Once the doors lock,they WILL NOT unlock.
You either have to use the unlock switch or PULL TWICE on the door handle.
I thought I remembered reading here on edmunds.com about a few changes/upgrades to the '08 S40, but can't seem to find the info in doing searches. Can anyone tell me what to expect for the '08 model, and when that car is expected to hit showrooms? If I am way off base, my apologies...but in that case, when is the next refresh/redesign?
Thanks in advance!
Front and rear bumpers change
Headlights/taillights change
Center console changes,bigger front door pockets, new wood for center console(don't like it).
T5 engine goes from 218 hp to 227hp.
Next redesign 2010-11

If you want real reliability long term you'll almost have to stick with regular Hondas, Toyotas, Subarus, and perhaps Nissans...

On the ride issue, the dealer has no suggestions. Apparently there are no other struts available from Volvo. IPD says they sell a softer one but haven't tried it. Don't know what your mileage is but mine seems to ride a little softer after 76K. I'll try a tire geared more towards comfort when it's time to replace; but that won't be for another 20K or so. The wheelbase of 104.3" is about average for this group of cars. Oh, my old desk foam seat cushion also helps! Good luck.
