Parallel XC 90 T8 vs. X Thread Started in "Swedespeed.com"
great write-up, AdamSM!
I was bored late last night so I joined and posted my quick comparison in the Volvo forum to give the people who have been obsessed waiting for the XC 90 a chance to chime in from their perspective:

So far, there are 42 responses. One wrote "best first post". Another, @goVolvo, said they thought I was "maybe a volunteer marketing person for Tesla". :biggrin: @P50GT, who claimed to have worked for TSLA, wrote: "They do not work for Tesla.", and made the ridiculous claim: "I am familiar with this person from my time at Tesla. They were a thorn in the Tesla's team's side as well." I really got a laugh out of that one!! Maybe canceling a $5K Model S reservation and reserving the X counts as "being a thorn"?? Posting 2D/3D walkaround videos of the Model X Prototype on Youtube must have really upset the "team", too, not to mention the 25+ videos from the Launch Event.
Anyway, I did learn that Volvo has plans to build a US assembly plant, so they get points for that.
