Hi, First post here! I've been driving a Saab 9-5 Aero Estate for the last 5 years (and a Saab 900S MY92 for the last 10) and wanted something more modern instead of the 9-5. Looked at a bunch of different brands but kept going back to Volvo, initially looked at the V90, but thought it was too big and I was pleasantly suprised by the size of the V60.

Ordered it in October and it just got delivered at the dealer yesterday. Went to take a sneak peak earlier today.

So happy with the color!

I checked a lot of boxes on the order form:
- T8, 19", power seats, lightning package, climate pro, lounge and a bunch of options including the Polestar Software. :)

116950

The dealer is also going to swap the chrome exhaust tips for the black Polestar engineered ones, now I just have to figure out what to do with the Volvo letters on the back, keep them as is, replace them for black ones or remove them completely.

So excited to pick this thing up in 10 days or so. It's not only my first Volvo, it's my first new car. :)

Nice. But what happened to the V60 and engine designation on the back?

It annoys me to no end that the only "colors" the V60 T8 is offered with in the US are white, silver, gray, and black. Bursting Blue would have been my top choice if it was offered.
