Yeah, same, an 06'.
Its among the best cars I've ever driven. Reliable as hell and it drives like a sports car.

I'd love a lift kit for an XC90. It doesn't exist. Given the T6 weak-link transmission, your options would be for the 2.5 (gutless wonder) or the V8 which are loaded to the gills. So the kids can watch DVDs in the back while you're rock crawling.

Weird. My mom has one of these, and I was just thinking today that if you lowered it would it look like a golf? The answer is no. Haha

Probably just a 2.5 inch and some knobby tires.

Really? I mean, I think that the throttle response is decent, but I feel like theres WAY too many blind spots and has the turning radius of a suburban. :/. I picked it up about 2 months ago after I was in an accident and my Mercedes CLK 350 was totaled... So then again, maybe i'm spoiled.

Yeah I agree with the blindspots point — its made all the worse by the fact that I'm 6'5. But its for a good reason, the pillars are fat but their made of boron steel, the turning radius isn't that great but that's to be expected from such a long SUV. My 'sports car' comment was really just in regards to the throttle, the response isn't the fastest (pretty sure somethings up with my mass airflow sensor) but the car pulls like mad.
I don't know if you could really compare it to a clk, but as SUV's go, I just absolutely love it. I got it as a hand me down from my parents two years ago so maybe I'm just stoked not to be driving a focus.
