Some Volvo markets (Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania) have B4 AWD, some of them even B5 AWD available for order. It’s weird that AWD is no longer offered in big Volvo markets like UK, Germany and France, I really wonder how Volvo decides the quotas for each market.

They'd have my money tomorrow if I could order a B5 Ultimate AWD.

Lack of AWD removes it instantly from my next car list

You have to wonder what Volvo are thinking really. As well as a lack of AWD, there's the reducing of spec. and options and the increasing prices.

I don't want AWD, but as much as I like it, I think this will probably be my one and only Volvo.

Getting closer...
The B4 Ultimate, Dark in Thunder Grey I ordered in mid July is built and "at the port in Holland, heading to Harwich" according to my dealer. Estimated arrival on December 17th with collection provisionally on the 19th or 20th.
A friend who ordered a B3 in October is getting hers next week.

Dealer update Monday this week: sales order gave delivery 9th Dec (today, in fact). Factory confirmation gave mid to end January. Monday's update says 'aim to be with us end January'
Thats means - PDI, swap to All Saeason tyres as agreed (was originally going to be factory order), Supagard etc. etc. I won't see the car until week 2 February earliest
I've said on that basis keep it until 1st March for a 23 plate, why pay for a 72 in mid February?

(Also @blastpipe)

Why not buy the car in a market where it’s available, say Belgium, The Netherlands, etc. ?

They insist on putting the steering wheel on the wrong side....

I understand, but the right side is not necessarily the right side. Long ago, I had a Land Rover Defender with the steering wheel on the right side. No problem whatsoever over here in France : it takes no more than a week to get used to it.
