Volvo XC90
The XC90 SUV has known a glorious career, even despite some reliability problems. After a seven year run, it still holds an honourable place in the mid-sized luxury SUV segment, even in front of rivals introduced more recently. But we will have to expect this important model to be overhauled in the near future. The next generation, which should be introduced as a 2011 model, could come with a diesel engine, more and more popular in this segment.
