We have two XC70s, a '08 and a '12.

The '12 is a front wheel drive base model that we purchased new for 26K - a steal IMHO - we really do not miss the extras that our loaded '08 has.

We just drove from Massachusetts to Minnesota across Canada with a FULL load of my daughter's stuff - 27.5 MPG, Plenty of punch for the passing lanes every 15k or so.

If you know of any articles about Ford influence on Volvo, I'd like to see them. I figure that Volvo influenced Ford - their big SUV was built on a S80 platform - they never advertised turbos as they have after Volvo.
