Yes, it had the amber interior.

Did it have bowers and wilkins? If so, how’d it sound? I guess how’d it sound regardless?

It had the Bowers and Wilkins stereo. I’ve seen Meat Loaf in concert, and when you set the ambiance to Concert Hall, and put on a 320kbps file of Bat Out Of Hell, it’s like you’re actually there . Actually, better than being there, because everything sounds more crisp.

It has a better interior and looks better than the new E-class. I’ve been in both, and the Volvo feels more worth the money.

Neither can I, but it was spectacular. It felt nicer than the Range Rover Autobiography SWB they had in the showroom. Just a better mix of materials, and nicer aesthetics.

My mom is looking to replace her enclave begging her to look at the xc90 right about now. She's not sure ;(

Ask her if she’ll just sit in one.

Ugh... as if I needed another reason to love this car.

Did I mention that the infotainment is as smooth as an iPad and has literally no lag?

I’m patiently waiting about 6-8 years for depreciation to work it’s magic!

We have 1 of those here at my dealership as a demo. We will be getting more in around september. Spectacular vehicle I must say, what with the simplicity and niceness. Super comfy and fit and finish is on par with the most expensive brands out there. I can’t wait for the v90. Love me some wagons.

Wait, one S90 as a demo, and a surprisingly rust-free Prelude. By any chance, are you in western Canada?

Central West Virginia. Charleston to be specific. Eastern USA, Applachia. Salt belt. Just happen to be lucky. And the S90 belongs to the Volvo dealer, the only one in WV. But thanks for trying!

I couldn’t have been farther off. That is one clean Prelude!

My new issue of Car And Driver arrived, and the headline for the S90 article was “Call It A Comeback.” The only thing they didn’t like was that the steering effort doesn’t build up as linearly as they would have liked it to. Otherwise, they love it, and rank it above the brand new E-class, and the new XF. It’s that good.

It looks amazing. I love everything about it and the reviews are great. I just can’t justify as much as it is, but I guess you kind of have to with the quality that is injected into it. I guess we’ll see in the next few months or maybe I’ll wait a year out. Not sure. it is so damn beautiful.

Well, Jeremy Clarkson said that the only way the Range Rover (the full-on one, not the Sport) beats the XC90 is in powertrain refinement and imperiousness. Otherwise, he says it has to be the Volvo. Considering the S90 is even nicer inside and has had more time to develop, I would say that this is very good precedent indeed.
