hahahahaha.
get the V60 Polestar instead. looks pretty badass
That is the future...a "Relax" option to lounge or sleep while the car drives you..oh lord what is next ?
Does it matter? iPhone is made("assembled")in China and Volvo is still made in Sweden last I heard.
Looks cheap. LOL
You added more confusion, senior.
lol, I just bought one and it is every bit the car the TDI is!
and our TDI's were made in Mexico....
My V60 was made in Sweden. The long wheelbase S60s are made in China, and some other models in Germany.
Yes, but run and managed by Swedes in Sweden. The Chinese company is a smaller private, non government affiliated car company, not one of the large, government owned/backed companies.
It is a "VW ripped you off -- buy a Volvo". No trade in required. Just proof of ownership of a TDI in the emissions scandal list (not older non CR TDIs)
I would venture to say you are wrong. American industry has already saved the world from fascism once.I would adventure to say that if using similiar materials, cars assembled in China are better than those assembled in the USA, in general. Buick has very nice cars coming down from their Chinese production lines.
Lots of American auto workers are entitled, lazy and lack of discipline, from what I read. And the designs are beyond ugly, needless to say. Not trying to be offensive if you belong to the cohort
Are we on the same page? You're talking "industry", I am talking "auto industry"; You're talking "then", I am "now".
LOL, might be nuclear weapon workers, IT workers who'll "save the world", but certainly not those lazy auto workers, in their current mental status and working ethics.
Right On Turbobrick.... +1+1... people forget how great America was and
Funny you should mention Subaru. I was dead set on getting an Outback to replace our '09 JSW after the buyback (thus continuing to have two wagons in the family, an Outback and a V60), but after test driving a 2.5i Limited, I came away extremely underwhelmed. It handled fine, but the 2.5 engine is a dog, and compounded with the CVT, wasn't worth dealing with. Also, there were no rear air vents...apparently you have to jump to the 3.6 Limited to get those. So, no Subaru for me. Seriously looking at getting a second Volvo, probably the XC60, if we don't end up in a Highlander. Also, we really like the Infiniti QX60, but they're a little out of our price range at the mid-40's.
Anyone else considering this approach with their buyback cash?
No decision yet but we've been looking at the V60, most likely the CC though we have yet to drive the FWD or standard height AWD. We're willing to give up a little corner carving ability for the extra ride height & suspension travel.Update - bought a 'new' 2016 XC60 from a local Volvo dealer....a loaner with 6k on the odometer... came out with about $8,200 off sticker and Volvo is making the first three payments on a 60-month 0% loan with the Safe & Secure package thrown in for former TDI owners. All told with the three payments thrown in, got a $45k car for $35k + TT&L. Sucks about not being able to trade in on the difference in to get the taxes down, but everyone's in the same boat on that.
Nice looking SUV; have a bit of a brake vibration issue, so we'll need the dealer to take care of that, but otherwise, we're waiting to turn in the JSW. Putting the $14,000 in savings + probably some IRA, since the loan is at 0%.
