You're right of course - I let my rage at the lack of diesels blind my judgment...

Volvo has had some serious problems with sales in the last few years to be sure.

At the very least, Volvo has some decent engine tech coming in the GTDI engines it has recently announced. They have lots of experience to lend to the turbo game, and direct injection is where it's at.

Does anyone know if the diesel engines can be installed if you do the Overseas Delivery program?

Speaking of Volvo and engines, some folks were recently discussing Volvo/Geely's plan to introduce a 7-series fighter, and the issue of engines came up... Volvo doesn't currently have anything they could use for this.... some folks suggested that Volvo could maybe use Ford's 3.5L V6 Eco-boost which is a torque MONSTER! That could be cool. Of course they are free to buy from anyone they want now too...

Interesting times for Volvo for sure.

I still wish they would ship a few oil burners to NA though.
