The car will even have what Volvo calls “Swedish air,” a system that closes external ducts when it detects outside pollution.

there is a caveat tho. only CKD cars, and no, i am not earning 6 digits income despite coming back form overseas. was forced to come back due to work visa expired sad.gif

AMG A45 and 911 are both CBU cars.

Tho they recently changed the rules you can get 1 CBU car tax free (whilst my entitlement is 2 CKD cars)

errr.. 2 cars, so one volvo v40 for self, another is a Renault Fluence for mom, right?

it starts with ''The Volvo V60 T5 is a dangerous car. Its modest 240 horsepower thrust me straight into a mini midlife crisis, and its calm interior roiled my emotional waters. Cars are supposed to be a symptom of a middle-aged meltdown, I realize, but who ever heard of a car causing one?''

Sounds like a familiar story of How Renault rescued Nissan and ends up later saved by Nissan in return

Even sounds like Tata story with JLR

hopefully with the V60 comeback in the US it would be able to gain the marketshare of sportswagons in US. too bad they are not getting V40 there tongue.gif

The US dealers were crying outloud to Volvo to bring v40 there but somehow their calls are not answered...perhaps McKinsey can make a fast one by saying introduce lah there the V40. LOL

Think it is caused by us govt tight regulation that v40 did not pass hence it was not able to be sold there. tongue.gif

ok, McKinsey can still make a quick buck by stating Bring in 'US's Regulation complied version of V40. tongue.gif

More money pumped in to jolt it awake from zombie state in North America

New XC 90 + new V60 cross country will work for those damn Yankees and rednecks. That is all it takes to come back . That and a big marketing promo budget at the Super Bowl, etc.
