Re: Volvos Diabolical handling of the XC40 fiasco

I test drove the Audi and Mini Countryman... The Volvo is in another league completely. If you want to cancel then that's down to you obviously but I know I'm not going to shoot myself in the foot and then regret not waiting every time I get into a Mini and drive past a Volvo. I'm with you now. Tes...

Re: Smaller Wheels!

I had a Porsche a while back and wanted to swap some wheels. The dealership would have had Porsche hq crashing down on them if they swapped anything, even if it was off a new car that had driven zero miles. I can't believe Volvo have swapped wheels off a used car onto a new car. This is my first Vol...

If the lead time is less than 12 months it's a possible possible.

Re: Delivery Date

Forgot to mention from my chat with the dealer.

Volvo anticipated 50:50 split between R-Design and the rest.

So far it's 78:22

Re: Delivery Date

T5 is part of the problem so it's feasible a T4 will arrive sooner

Re: Delivery Date

Just spoke with my dealer and they think my 1st March order may not arrive till next year. Said they received a communication from Volvo today aimed at managing the order pipeline which includes the options of a cheap rental on a V40 or just give the deposit back. I'm rapidly losing interest and wan...

Re: Smaller Wheels!

If it's not being supplied till September you'd think they'd be able to get the right wheels in by then. They're the last item to go on.

Exactly how slow and inflexible is their supply chain?
