Wow
That's a completely different different DD experience.

Yep. I miss the GT3. Nothing can replace it especially a Volvo. The XC90 is just a very nice, comfortable family hauler. We also have a '15 VW GTI as well if I want a sportier drive than the XC. I also have two close friends that picked up Porsches (targa and gts) over the last couple of months if I need a fix until I'm back in one myself.

My DD is a 2011 Boxster Spyder. I have over 65,000 miles on it now!

A 2004 Tacoma and 2003 4Runner both with 150k miles and going strong. I don't worry about them get scratched, dented or scuffed. Take the dogs( greatdane, Boston terrier, yorkie) in them to the mountains or the coast so the interior takes a beating.

Being from Sweden, Volvo has always been close to my heart. Drove the new xc90! I was very impressed. First really luxurious car they have built in a long time. Super comfortable. Almost RR like.

This is our first Volvo to purchase. I love the design, especially the interior. Ours is an Inscription with amber/black interior, B&W and I think it looks very simply but very elegant. The Sensus is super easy to use and works really well too. All in the car was $67k (we got a lot of options) which I still think is very reasonably priced. It doesn't have the driving dynamics of a Cayenne or something like that but it's not designed to.

Until 2 days ago, my DD was my 2013 Panamera GTS. However, that just went in to the dealer and came out as a 2016 Audi RS7. Very similar package, noticeably more power!

I think it was a great idea by Volvo to go away from the competition with BMW, Audi and Mercedes. They were not even close to competing when it comes to driving dynamics. The xc90 is more of a great bang for the buck Range Rover. Obviously with high safety features.

This is exactly what I'll be ordering when my current lease runs out and I await the 991.2 GT3. Rubicon Hard Rock 6-speed. What color is that?

We DD our '02 M3 in fair weather and our '02 ML500 in bad. In their own way, both were high points for their respective models and continue to give great service and joy.

I ended up buying a Range Rover v8 and giving my macan turbo to my wife. Total win win.

I will say this for the English. They know how to build a very posh car.

This is Granite crystal metallic...I love the Rubicon, my wife really uses it daily..My only dislike is for some reason at the time I was thinking we needed it in the auto. I really wish I would have bought the M6.

As great as you think the RS7 is now, with the APR flash it becomes an absolute monster. I love mine as a DD.
