Volvo XC90


With the new Luxury Car Tax (LCT) threshold set to take effect from July 1, 2008, many manufacturers are working out ways to entice customers to wrap-up their purchases (of $57,000 and above) early enough to take delivery of their new vehicles before the deadline.

It all makes sense though - a rise from 25 per cent to 30 per cent means that motorists could easily be thousands of dollars extra out of pocket depending on the price of their vehicles.

Swedish car maker Volvo obviously believes that motorists are hard done by and futhermore, safety and comfort are not considered luxuries by Australian working families. To help ease the squeeze, they are offering 3 years free servicing and 1 years Volvo Insurance free on the XC90 SUV.

Customers will need to take delivery of the luxury 7-seat SUV before June 30 2008 to be entitled to receive 3 years / 100,000km of schedule Volvo servicing and 12 months motor vehicle insurance through Volvo Car Insurance (subject to risk acceptance), with Volvo's compliments.


The Volvo XC90 is available in a choice of three engines - a fuel efficient 3.2-litre 6-cylinder unit, D5 diesel and 4.4-litre V8 engines. Other standard features includes 7 forward facing leather seats, Reverse Park Assist Radar and integrated child booster seat.

Pricing for the XC90 starts from $69,950.

Volvo C30 with removable film


In an effort to make the Volvo C30 hatchback more appealing - or unappealing, as is most likely the case - the Swedish car maker has announced a new personlisation program that allows you to customise the C30 with a removable film featuring roughly 20 different designs.

The film sticks to the car's paint and is available in designs such as a zebra-print, sky blue with white clouds and many more. The film is professionally applied by Volvo staff and boasts guaranteed durability for approximately two years. As the car's original paint colour is hidden underneath the film, it will be protected rather than damaged by the film.

Once the durability of the film wears thin after two years, customers can have it either replaced or completely removed.

The cost of the film plus labour is in excess of US$3000.

Our take on this rather silly customisation program is that it won't be all that popular unless customers can actually design their own films - to feature company logos and what not - rather than choosing from the 20-odd designs provided in house by Volvo.

Some of the designs are so shockingly loud/bad/ridiculous that you will probably end up removing eggs from the car...a lot!
