glenn - just want to confirm that ordering from the factory is the way to go! my son and I had a trip to London/Copenhagen last spring on volvo, terrific! we could have taken Nice/Copenhagen, ah, decisions... decisions, anyhow, the V70 I got has a sunroof which I love here in Louisiana. I learned by having a dark red car that silver would be cooler in summer, it looks more acceptable when dirty as well. The only drawback to leather is constant reminders of "soft-paws" to my cat, she leaves holes climbing around and the dash is not as big a space for her to sprawl on as in our 240. My son is 6'1" and he fits the super comfortable drivers seat fine. I have problems accepting the level of luxury due to anxiety that things will stop working. My son did help me out a bit recently when he asked me why I thought everything had to break? I feel better enjoying it now. It is a very comfortable car and is slowly getting a personality, high ho silver, away!
