Or any projections on the '07 V70?
I have a '93 945T that I will be selling this coming fall or early next spring, picking up a new vehicle for the family. My short list is: Volvo V70 with manual transmission, Honda Odyssey, and the Mazda5 (the micro-van, with manual transmission).
One interesting thing about the V70, per the lady at the Chicago Auto Show, if I do oversees pickup the cost will be 8% off of MSRP, plus they'll give me two tickets to fly to Sweden to get it (and a hotel room for one night). If I went with the V70 I'd have to special order it anyway since seemingly nobody stocks the manual transmissions.
I'm reading about all of the problems the earlier V70s had, just wondering if new ones also have reliability problems and are also very expensive to maintain. I like the V70, but don't want to buy into a money-pit of course.
I also like doing basic maintenance and some repairs myself (easy on the 945T), but are new V70s hard if not impossible to fix yourself? I've also noticed that there don't seem to be any repair manuals out there...
