rmc523 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I've had this on my computer for a while, found it August of '06, IIRC. It was supposedly the Volvo XC50. Does anybody know if this is true, or confirm the XC50's existence, or has it been replaced w/ the XC60? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlRozzi Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 As far as I can tell there is to be an XC30 now, rather than a 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 As far as I can tell there is to be an XC30 now, rather than a 50. Based off the C30, I heard about that, I wasn't sure if there was an XC50 ever, so I guess you're probably right, if it did exist, probably replaced by the XC30/60 combo. So now Volvo's XC lineup will look like this: XC30 XC60 XC70 XC90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlRozzi Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 That seems to be correct. I'm sure you saw the news a week or two ago about the 90 ending production and then Volvo coming back and denying that news. If the Flex is based on the 90 then it wouldn't make sense for Volvo to quit that platform. BTW, the XC60 is looking great. Also, a Swedish friend sent me a cover from a magazine over there with the next 60 sedan on the cover and it's a must-have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see the news about the XC90. I've seen spy shots of the XC60 as well it looks good to and the way things seem to be going for Volvo in the US right now, these new products can't come fast enough. BTW, do you know if this XC30 is same thing as the 5 door C30 Volvo is considering/going to build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlRozzi Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 BTW, do you know if this XC30 is same thing as the 5 door C30 Volvo is considering/going to build? I'm 99% sure they are separate models. The 5 door is just that- a five door C30. The XC30 is a new body (cuv). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, thought I'd ask, since they seem like pretty similar concepts/ideas, but I can see where there'd be differences. I have yet to see a C30 on the road, my dad saw his first one a couple months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inteller Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 does anyone know if the XC60 will be at NAIAS in production form? I'm wanting to buy one when they hit the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofford Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 does anyone know if the XC60 will be at NAIAS in production form? I'm wanting to buy one when they hit the ground. It is scheduled to debut there in production form, although you may have to wait until the end of the year to get one. Apparently they won't be in the U.S. until the 4th quarter of 2008.

inteller Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Don't think so. They did, as I saw from a showroom photo, but I couldn't tell if it was the XC60 or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Don't think so. That's interesting....I guess at least they were there, unlike Porsche and Aston Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when spring comes, and people start driving for fun, we might see one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the nearest dealer is quite a ways away as well, so that decreases my chances of seeing one as well. Maybe I will see one nearer to springtime.
