Just ordered an 06 XC-70, impressive car... right decision? (time will tell) XC 2006

Four years after my wife's near fatal accident in our 89 240 (would have been fatal in any other car), we finally decided to buy a new XC-70. Regardless of the responses I receive, we will buy the car, so I am not looking for dissuasion. What I am asking for are the annoyances that other owners have found, for example the blind spot the driver side B pillar creates, and how they got around it.

Any particular problems that folks have run into would be of interest as well. Is Pirelli the only outfit making these odd ball sized tires? From experience, they make great pasta but their rubber seems to wear out rather quickly!

The car, as ordered, is fully optioned (minus nav, Hey, I don't need directions!), black exterior, graphite leather interior, including roof rack cross bars and rear deck fin. Overseas delivery is mid-May.
