No more orders for MY22 vehicles?

Just spoke to a dealer about an order for an XC40 PHEV I was contemplating. He told me that Volvo HQ have now stopped taking new orders and won't be manufacturing new MY22 vehicles. To be honest, my PCP doesn't end until June 23, so I'm not overly concerned, however this is sure to affect and anger ...

Paint scratch help!

Loving our T5 Auto in Fusion Red, sadly didn't need to wait long for the first 'ding', or more accurately a scratch (from the watch I was wearing so totally my fault).

Re: Poll time - Would you have paid to have a different colour?

I took delivery of a Fusion Red T5 R-Design Pro a week ago. Like some of the others on this thread, I would have enjoyed more lively colours. Personally, I despair at all the black, white silver vehicles on our roads.

Re: Poll: Which engine/transmission are you looking at, or have purchased?

Pleasantly surprised that T5 Petrol Auto coming out on top, as that's what we have on order. Never owned a diesel, driven a fair few of course but living in London, would be nervous of the Mayor's upcoming restrictions. That said I would certainly have considered an EV / Hybrid had they been availab...

Re: Delivered today
