Its called truth or consequences XC90

The T6 is a failure. The SUV weighs a lot and the MPG is not great. The ODY does not have AWD, so for winter ice conditions it needs to be driven like a 'normal' car.

The ODY is noiser than the SUV, but more than double the carrying capacity. The ODY also uses 87 octane Vs the 92 octane.

AND if you look at the resale values, the Honda wins.

----------------------

If you were comparing the XC70 to the ODY, then I would go the station wagon route. The 2005 XC70 has the light pressure turbo 5 cyl that will run on 89 octane, it is more comfortable than the ODY, less noise, and a climate control system that really works. Plus it is 1,000 lbs lighter than the XC90.
