XC40 becomes Volvo's most successful new model launch in UK ever
I take issue with the words "successful model launch"
Early sales might be impressive but the actual launch which invited prospects to a launch party to advise them that no product is available must rank as one of the worst and most unprofessional product launches ever.

T5 White - 19 inchers for sanity not vanity
Have to agree, my local dealer even went as far as removing all the discounts too as they had enough people willing to pay full whack!!Marketry wrote: ↑Tue Apr 10, 2018 7:45 pm I take issue with the words "successful model launch"

XC40 T5 FE - Bursting with blue and now with some extra blue - Polestar 
Whilst I agree it's not been great for some people, the only reason seems to be because it has been so successful for so many people so early on...Marketry wrote: ↑Tue Apr 10, 2018 7:45 pm I take issue with the words "successful model launch"

You could argue that if the launch was less successful for Volvo, and less cars were sold early on, it would then be easier to get your hands on the new model now, making a less successful launch a more successful launch?

Agreed. VCUK and their retail distribution network have shown themselves up dramatically throughout the whole launch process. Lack of education (of the dealers) and an overall lack of market awareness by VCUK has demonstrated that they have been unable to cope with demand and manage their customers’ expectations.
