When the sales of the actually stocked V90 XC version still barely crack into 3-digits, it's not surprising the base version that sold in even fewer numbers is going away.
I really like the V90, but not quite enough to dig $50K+ out of the couch cushions for one. Which I guess was part of the problem. I tried to talk my mother into ordering one, but the whole "Chinese ownership" bugs her, for better or worse. Plus my aforementioned hesitance for spend large amounts of $$$$ on a car is somewhat hereditary.
Damn, the V60 T5 R-Design was my pick of the litter (not that I can afford one). At least they made them for a couple of years so I can seek out a used one someday if I'm not just driving an EV.
Actually, on that note, call me when there's a V60 Recharge, that's the one I really want.
I saw a V90 this morning. They are beautiful and I want one. The dealers don't stock them though, they have been special order only for a while now.
If Volvo can't sell wagons, nobody can sell wagons.
So sad...
Just 2 months ago I took this now highly zoomed picture in Cleveland, OH. License plate R Waggin. If you look close there a little square of blue near the T6 badge too which denotes Polestar tune!!!!!

I've seen a couple in PDX and a few on the west side of L.A. which are the sorts of places one might see them and they are gorgeous. I doubt I'll ever buy a new piston driven auto so I'm not the target demographic, but as a owner of several Volvo wagons over the years I am sorry to see wagons in general not sell well here in the US as they are very practicable, more efficient to make and run than a similar capacity SUV, and easier to see around than an SUV when I'm driving my wagons.
Typical logic, they make a car no one knows about, make it a special order only, price it high, and then wonder why they don't sell. Duh.
I thought about it but the drivetrain gets a meh and when I can support Japan, EU, or US with a big purchase I'm going to. Hoping VW EV wagon actually comes here for familymobile.
