No. There's no other SUV that can match the XC90 to my heart content. It's a class of it's own.
Volvo. Safety.

hahaha... who would you give a volvo to?

if got the money me also wanna changed my dad's 240 with RB.. haha..
stock engine fc cannot tahan oo..
summore cc almost the same..
cheaper maintenance n more power.. hehe

I like the C30 a lot but it only has seats for four people. The only other reason keeping people buying this car is that it will devalue as fast as a rock.
Thats why the slogan says:
Volvo For life.
Buy car, don't sell, will regret if selling

i also like the SUV.........maybe trade in my current car to get that?? heahehhea

the new XC90 has a V8 engine.....

ah wondering, what kind of bulb should i buy for my S40 2.4i (2006 model)

i would like a better and brighter, maybe whiter light too...but dont want to change the balast........i read around they say can just buy a H7 bulb or something (cheaper than hid) something like that...maybe some "light" dude can enlighten me??

the same with this?..

yeah...i saw the seam lines of the convertible top (dunno wat it's called).

Volvo Cars North America showed that basic V-8 power might not be enough for its XC90 sport wagon. A one-off concept vehicle features a 600-horsepower supercharged V-8 engine, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

VOLVO FOR LIFE

old volvo uses 3 kinds of carb
-SU (fitted in 122, 144, 244)
-zenith stromberg (144, 240)
-pierburg (240)

to adjust air/fuel ratio in zenith or pierburg carb, you have to take out the damper piston (the one screwed on top of the carb), put a long thin screwdriver through the oil hole in the carb until it reaches the needle. Twist it to adjust needle height with respect to jet.

you can browse few websites that provide some information on tuning volvo carburettors.

for carb oil, using a cheap 20W-50 mineral oil is sufficient.

IMHO, although RB has more HP compared to stock volvo engine at similar cc, the stock engine has proven to be a durable/indestructible engine, running 20-30 years continuously without a need for overhaul.

yeah it's the same but not sure wether it's convertible or the hard top version but both looks sexy

its a convertible...see the line on the roof...

wow-wo...... XC90 looks more n more like cayenne with bodykits

that is ONE BIG intercooler...............must be the final stage supercharger with furiously high pressure and i believe it's 650bhp

from the statistics i heard, volvo is the safest car. I mean, statistically, ppl who had accident involving volvos are unlikely to die or badly injured. i mean the person who is in the volvo car.

just look at how many awards they got for it....
