well i traded in our 9 month old white XC60 T6 ... for a new 2010 silver XC60 R-Design... a much nicer looking vehicle with the painted bottom, 20" wheels,
special interior, sport suspension, ect... very sweet in person.

i'm so lovin it !!!

completed in 24 hours:
~ installed the full clear bra
~ tinted the front windows
~ debadged the rear
~ changed the bulbs to silver visions (mirrors and headlamp signals)

this car really reminds of our prior '08 XC90 V8 Sport - the r-design goods are well worth extra money over my prior T6...

 

It's not white!

 

I like it ,,injoy it to the fullest,,, i may look at them next time i and looking for a car for the wife, right now she has a 05 mustang conv and has no intention of getting a new car until 2020, jim

 

Beautiful car Andrew. The grill emblems are ginormous on the new ones. LOL Reminds me of Austin Powers. Shagariffic!

 

~ lol - every white one we learned about already had the front plate bracket screwed on - no holes for me. they only produced 500 r-design's for 2010...
made it a bit of a challenge... and most of the white r-design's had tan interiors - very few with black.

we took it for a 150 mile drive out of town - i really like it.

 

Does it have all the goodies like BLIS, Adaptive Cruise, hill descent, etc??

Just curious, I work on Volvo's and while we get a few XC60's, they don't usually have the fun stuff.

 

~ the options include: media pkg (nav & back up camera), convenience pkg, climate pkg, blis and pcc... all options but adaptive cruise.

 

The Adaptive cruise is cool. As close to a taxi as you'll ever get. The heartbeat sensor for the Personal Car Communicator is neat too. Very sensitive. It can distinguish between a human heart and animals. So you'll know if there's a carjacker in the car, but not a squirrel...

 

Andrew.....very nice!!!!!

 

one pet peeve - the new r-design didn't come with fog lamps from the factory - so i added them from the XC60 T6 (factory wired on the r-design).

the downside, i liked the chrome trim around the standard r-design bezel but it wasn't part of the replacement trim with the fogs... (shown below)

the seamless custom mending of the two fog factory lamp bezel/covers are complete via a highline bodyshop - they turned out as one factory looking component ~
(the best of both worlds):

Andrew: Love your wife's new car...especially those seats... happy driving.

On another note, Andrew, could your please let me know the amount your Crossfire was lowered and what you used...Thanks...Carl

 

~ i was surprised to see car & drivers latest test of 0-60 in 5.8 seconds. real good times for a wagon.

I can't see any decals on it yet.

 

~ going for the clean look... no decals on this one.

 

Hey Andrew, mind adopting me and buying me a new car too? LOL

The white looks great on the beamer though, the those new grilles in gloss work well with it.
