Then again I would be, I got my momma one too...

Ama I guess? I just enjoyed the drive from the city upstate and wanted to share.

I think I can come to like the rear too. However, here in the Netherlands like 90%(that’s what it feels like anyhow) of the sales are for non Cross Country V90's, so I haven’t seen one in the metal yet, so can’t make up my mind about if I like the look or not.
Not that it really matters what I think about it, I’m not in the market for one for at least 5 years anyway.

I can’t remember actually seeing one. I’ve seen regular V90 and the XC90, but the sedan S90? Anyway, I like it being different.

I’m a huge fan. I’m surprised you’ve seen V90s but no S90s. XC90s are very popular now.

Well, I’m in Europe. Not many sedans here, not compared to wagons or even crossovers. In general, not just Volvos. In my native the Netherlands V70s (regular, not cross country) have always outsold the s70/s80 by huge numbers. Usually 10 to 1, or 12 to 1 if you include the cross country.

I think it looks great. I have a 17 XC90 so I may have some bias.

Good looking car all around I’d say. I think Volvo has some nice designs as of recently.

I know that dealer (they just happen to be located right near a CarMax). Sells Jags and Land Rovers, too. How’s the sales experience? I’ve heard decent things about them.

What options do you have on the S90?
If you have the B&W Stereo, how do you like it?
What’s it like to drive?

Well it’s not mine, I’m happy to park my S90 in there though!
But fwiw I did get my parents two magic blue 90s (xc and s) so it’s kinda sorta mine right??

Well nice enouthe to buy multiple cars from them even though I don’t technically live in the area anymore and could have got mine closer to the city.
Overall they’re great, the usual dealer caveats of course. Always give a loaded 2017 xc60 as a loaner (even if that car is pathetically outdated) and have nice waiting room.
Biggest demerit? They refused to sell me the V90CC they had in the showroom and I settled for the S90. But I suspect that’s more of a Volvo thing than a dealer thing...No one is gonna say no to a sale if they can help it.

I have every package and option other than the extended leather dash (it’s only leather till about half way and then simulated rubber).
BW sound is nice, the Gothenburg setting is cool but the individual stage is the real winner if you tweak it a bit.
Drives excellent. It’s nothing like my old sport sedans and honestly I like that. It’s self assured and poised and with the air suspension it’s like sitting in lotion. Those seats help a ton.
I sold my FiST when I got this, is it as exciting? No. But if I want to drive something exciting I have a membershio for that :) I frequently have to drive to LI and Jersey for work and Pilot Assist is the best thing ever.

Ohh that makes sense.
When I got this there was a maple brown V90CC and I was sold. But Volvo embargo meant the dealer couldn’t sell it for 6 months or something and I cried and cried and cried and then got the s90

It sounds even more like the modern W126 I first thought it was. I’m excited for the LWB 2018 models.

yeah apparently 2018 on all s90 will be LWB standard in the US

EDIT (sorry thought you were commenting on something else)
Awesome! My mom’s XC90 is a M+ Magic Blue/blonde with the three packages, BW, hud, air suspension.
It’s awesome. I got a stellar deal on it or I’d have probably gotten her an inscription as well the seats are just flat out better in those.

Yup. Adds legroom and a standard panoramic roof, but it makes it a tiny bit more expensive.
