That's where the confusion is!
wonder why VM SA says only launching/selling mid next year? Trying to dump off all the old stock first? I also heard there are alot of 2012/2013 various models in their inventory.

Yes that's the reason, sell old s60 first. Xc 60 can launch because all old stock almost finish.

Saw plenty of Volvo S/V60 and even S80 facelifts when passing by the Volvo assembly plant.

here is the S60 facelift (not really clear pic but you get to see the grill is bigger)

Since the new FL S/V 60 is already here at the assembly plant therefore the only logical reason why I was told by SA that VM will only start selling them middle of 2015 could be VM are to trying to dispose the current old stock. doh.gif

And dun forget Plotong hv juz recently appointed a psychopath in their Mgmt, this ars****e will blardy hell raise all cars prices in Malaysia by next year just to keep on protecting that specific junk.

So basically we are forced to buy the old model to enjoy the present 'low' price or wait next year for the new FL model to be sold at a 'human rights violation' higher price.... mad.gif

Ohhhh...Malaysia...endless possibilities.... cry.gif

none yet, cause it is a 3 year old car. Mostly maintenance. But only the battery RM 780.00 per piece.

Any other item is fuse RM20.00. V40 T5 probably maybe better. For regular maintenance expect about 950.00 to 2500 per 20K KM service.

Anyway if you are getting the V40 T5, you dont need to worry about service cause it is free. So Why bother, plus any issue with breakpad, engine mounting and absorbers are all in the warranty.

Wow, Rm950 is engine lubricant change only right?
Major service cost you RM2.5k?

Since i haven't done even first service yet, so i don't know much on the price. tongue.gif

anyone of you have seen the new XC 60? i think all in all it is a good package. if you dont care so much of the power boot and also ACC i think its a perfect price, with a new better engine and gearbox.

Else add about 2600 to get the digital display that be enough for it. The rest are just extra with no function.

i also wonder why, and wonder how, Cheaper price is advantage, but taking out special features like power boot and ACC i think, hmmm...

Maybe volvo Malaysia did a survey and study that malaysians don't use ACC or dont know how to use ACC. And other malaysian drivers always cut into your lane without signaling you thats why the ACC is utter crap. Just my assumption. Probably all in all is to see the market feedback if we really need a power boot and ACC. if we complain, maybe they put in back again next year.

That's why they take it out.

As for the power boot, they probably found that, Malaysians are always rushing, so waiting for the boot to close is just too long. So they remove it and plus most Malaysians are obese. Probably they feel that we need more exercise. Hehe.

Else the rest, new engine, new gear box, yup, its great to have new things at a slightly lower price.
