A Volvo XC90 plays a role in a new Bollywood-film made in India. Especially the last scene in this promo makes you jealous. It should be you riding between those mountains!

Looks great, everytime you return to your car.

Car-journalist Jeremy Clarkson doesn't like the sport-version of the XC 90: "I don’t know what I was thinking of really because I know the Volvo is not sporty in any way. The diesel engine, though better than it was in the early days, is still desperately agricultural. The handling is straight from the playpen and the speed is woeful. Sticking four exhausts on a car like this is a bit like sticking four exhausts on Eamonn Holmes and attempting to sell the end result as a sport model."

According to my dealer a lot of XC90's have tv-screens in the back of the car. More than other types of Volvo's. Is it a thing that clings to this type of car? I know I didn't have any doubt when I bought my car: I just had to have screens. Not only for my three kids, who had pleasant trips to Rome, Barcelona and London thanks to this system, but also for myself. Nothing relaxes better to watch Sponge Bob while your wife is driving!

In Belgium the firebrigade has bought a 2006 XC90 for the officers as a command-car. They don't just click the key and drive. A holy father came to bless the car for it's work.
