Sorry Munin, but it looks like the R has found a permanent place as the AWD model.

Here are a couple of notes about the 2010 Model Year...
The base price of many models have come down and there are some equipment and color changes. The S40 2.4i sedan and V50 T5 R-Design wagon are now available with a manual transmission and can also be ordered without a moonroof. There also is a new variant available for 2010, the V70 R-Design.
Any 2010 Model Year Overseas Delivery orders received from April 24, 2009 up to the release of regular U.S. Delivery Model Year 2010 pricing will be price protected at the provisional price.
As Bob has said, contact him at University Volvo or myself at Lawrence Volvo to order your new Volvo and get a great European vacation.

I could see this as something Obama might help along, though I'm sure he'd worry about how it would impact GM/Ford/Chrysler (and the UAW). Unfortunately, if it isn't good for GM/Ford/Chrysler/the UAW, it likely won't happen.

Yes, but it would be good for Bob and I and our customers who have been waiting (patiently and impatiently) for diesel powered Volvo cars in America.

Re: 2010 OSD pricing is now available (William)
agreed
hopefully this is an issue that can be worked out
I'm not familiar with Volvo's diesel emission control system, so I don't know how likely it is that California's ARB will like it
sorry for the thread heist

Re: 2010 OSD pricing is now available (adp)
Even if the regs were waived or reduced, would Volvo import a diesel?
Right now, I don't think so. Maybe for the XC90.
Not for the sedans. Fact is, customers are more concerned about lease payments than MPG. Who knows, if they get a good response at the APG open house it may go a long way to persuading the powers that be to import the D5.

Re: 2010 OSD pricing is now available (VolvoMax)
That doesn't surprise me. But Volvo buyers are also pretty smart. They know that it's likely that fuel costs will be rising while they own the car. (They can also do the math, and they know just how much $ they'll spend on gas for a car getting 18 mpg verus 30 mpg).
Out of all the car companies, I'd think American Volvo buyers would be the most receptive to diesels. Personally, I would have accepted the tradeoff in performance for higher mpg.

Re: 2010 OSD pricing is now available (adp)
Most consumers don't think that far ahead. When they buy a car it's a) Do I like it? and b) Can I afford it?
Right now, I'm just not seeing that much interest in diesels. Price of gas is gonna have to jump up again.

Re: 2010 OSD pricing is now available (VolvoMax)
I'm not sure how you'd "see" interest indiesels, since there aren't any new diesels than an American car buyer can buy. (but I do agree that interest would increase if gas prices increased substantially)
Just because none of your prospective buyers ask you if they can buy a diesel, doesn't mean there isn't "interest."
I would guess that prospective Volvo buyers are smart enough to know that Volvo doesn't offer diesels for sale in America before they come in the door.
Doesn't mean someone like me won't ask the salesman "hey, so when do you think Volvo will offer diesels in the U.S?" out of hope that somehow Volvo may have communicated something to the US sales force.
But it would be a mistake to equate the number of such inquiries with the level of "interest" by the American consumer.
I do accept that Volvo knows it customer base better than I do. They must have analyzed it and determined it wasn't worth their trouble. Or they know that their diesel technology would be rejected by California, so it would be a fool's errand to make the play.

Re: 2010 OSD pricing is now available (adp)
Interest is extrapolated from sales of similar models. Diesel sales haven't been that great. Even in products where you would expect good sales.
Big companies like VW or M-B can withstand the drain caused by slow selling models. Volvo can't.

Sorry, I don't mean to be dense.

Re: 2010 OSD pricing is now available (William)
I see for the XC60 that now a note has been added stating: Not included: Freight charge, taxes, license, title, documentation and dealer prep fees.
Therefore additional charges may occur at your delivery point.Please note: free shipment to US from factory.
Does this mean that there is a change in total price as compared to earlier releases? Tx, Fred
