So my '13 GS F Sport lease was up in August and I was praying for a good lease deal for the GSF around here, which never happened, so I started cross shopping other makes while extending my lease. The GS was my favorite car ever, was trouble free and still looks, sounds, and feels just right. But I wanted an upgrade, or a change, and Lexus has nothing "up the ladder" that I was willing to pay for.

Yesterday I took delivery of a 2017 Volvo S90 Inscription with all the options and a Polestar optimization tune coming up soon, that the dealer gave to me at half price.

I like these forums and will still keep an eye on Lexus for the future since the Volvo is a lease. Maybe in 39 months another new GS will arrive and I'll switch back, who knows? Anyway, making a slight departure and wanted to thank everyone here for being cool and helpful, this really is a great forum and I plan on checking in from time to time.

 

Post pics, would love to see your new ride.

 

Traitor!

 

Not the best lighting thanks to the weather, but this is it.

 

Good Luck! It's nice.

 

Thanks! It's going to take some getting used to but the tech is amazing and the Bowers and Wilkins system torpedoes the ML in my GS. Power delivery is not as linear as the GS though and it doesn't really smash you into the seat, it just takes off with no drama. Definitely a different personality.

 

Will miss you bro. Always enjoyed your posts and perspective. Knew you since the Infiniti Q50 days! Hope you continue pop-in and post on occasion.

G'luck with the Volvo. Hope it's a bulletproof car. All the best.

I have been looking at their suvs lately they look very sharp, since it's a lease I hope you won't mind the criticism haha . I like the front but the rear end reminded me of Fiat growing up in Germany. Have read your many posts here will miss those for sure. Gud luck.

 

Thanks bro. Yeah, they swung and missed on the rear design and I'm fine with it. The tails are boring and kinda odd.

 

Congrats! Love the new Volvos. Enjoy!

 

Nice bro, my eye is on XC90

 

I love that screen. This has CarPlay/Android Auto correct, or is that the XC90 I'm thinking about?

 

Really like the front on a lot of the new Volvo vehicles but I can't say the same for the rear.

 

Congrats on the new ride!

 

Check out the V90 Wagon. I think that's the best looking Volvo I've ever seen.
