Did you go to the XC90 driving experience? I went last Sunday and had a blast! I drove the T-6 on the performance track. It accelerated smoothly and quickly, but pulled to the right just a bit.

I drove the 2.9T on the off-road course. It handles great on wet pavement and on dirt roads. It corners like it's on rails. I also got yelled at for going too fast, but oh well, just kept on drivin'!

A professional driver took us on the ROPS course. He got it up to 60-mph and without braking, steered hard over to the right to avoid an obstacle. You could feel the ROPS engage the brakes to correct the oversteer and prevent a rollover. Then he stood on the gas and got it up to 60-mph and attempted to flip the car. The throttle disengaged automatically and the brakes took over to correct the over-steer. Once the car was level again, the throttle kicked back in and the car accelerated.

That car is sooooo awesome. I was tempted to just drive through the fence and take off with it!

Did they have the 5 cylinder FWD version available for driving?
I'm wondering about the performance. (I doubt they did since I
read it is expected early 2003). Just curious.

> Is it time to trade in the S70 T5?? :)

I had the same thought about our 850 wagon.
