• Volvo V70 (2007 - ) - 1.6D and 57mpg? 23 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  combination. Is this merely Volvo's attempt to counterbalance the effect of all those XC90s on its average CO 2 value - i.e. all for show and not seriously expected to sell - or should those to whom the V70 represents family motoring nirvana be rushing to place their (all right, our) orders now
