Starting with deliveries in mid-February, there will be a 2002.5 model in the S80 line-up. The 2002.5 T6s will go up in price by $950 but they will have as standard equipment DSTC, Security Glass and 17" alloys. The Arrakis wheels are gone. The new 17" alloys are going to be called "Interceptor". I do not know what they look like, I am working on obtaining a picture.

The 2002.5 2.9s will go up in price by $300 and Security Glass will be standard.

Two new colors are available for both T6 and 2.9 models. Black Sapphire Metallic (code #452) which was only available in the Executive and Elite editions and Pearl White Metallic (code #453). Pearl White will cost an additional $200 over the cost of metallic paint since it is a three-stage process paint.

Lastly, the new Navigation System (which is much improved and with a wider screen) is available now for the S60, V70 and S80 line-up. It is available in any engine variant except the non-turbo engines. Rumor has it that it will be available in the V70 2.4 soon. The new system has an MSRP of only $1,950 compared to $2,500 of the previous system. It will also come with a handheld remote control.

There is also a 2002.5 C70; when I get more info about this, I will let you know.

OH! DSTC is available for ordering now in the V70 XC and S60 AWD.
