I'm trying very hard not to buy a Volvo V50 AWD T5 !

Not expected until something like 2010, I believe. May have to be the recently talked about 7 speed, to handle the torque.

I think the Q5 is scheduled for launch in 08.

I'm looking the other way, used allroads, C6 S6 Avants, even some D2 Sedans or Phaetons......

too bad the V70R is no more.....

New 9-3 XWD Sport Combi might be interesting, though. Esp the Turbo X. New generation Haldex. (I know, still not TorSen). Of course, they need to put XWD in the 9-5 soon, too.
