Oh, I am sorely tempted by the Titanium Edition (and it would match my Macintosh Tibook so well), but I did test drive one....they took it out of the showroom with its one gallon of gas from Sweden, we drove it right to the nearest gas station to put in some gas and then drove it around for awhile. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the acceleration, the T5 just has that little bit extra kick. I didn't notice what grade of gas the sales guy put in, maybe the sales guy put in regular which may have hurt the performance. The shifting was a little harsh compared to the two 2001 T5's that i have driven (all with the geartronic). I've also driven a 2000 2.4T and wasn't overwhelmed with the acceleration.
According to the Volvo website, there are currently three engines: the std V70 has a 2.4 liter, then there is a 2.5 liter with low pressure turbo, and a 2.3 liter engine with the high pressure turbo for the T5.
I do like the titanium color.
