I'm going to puchase a xc90 for my wife. Our local dealer is trying to sell off the '06s by reducing the price by $4k (plus DVDs in seatbacks). Will the 6cyl. be worth the extra $ in the long run, or should I take the rebates on the 5T? Key issue: will the engine change make THAT big a difference for a non-agressive/conservative driver? Will the 6 be more/less reliable?

 

The new 6cyl is an INLINE six NOT a v6. In short, no there won't be much difference if your not going for preformance. If they are offering big discounts on the 06, I say go for it. The new 3.2 is a completely new platform, and we haven't seen how they have held up. the 2.5T has been used for quite some time, and is a very solid platform.

 

Which are you getting?

 

Ummm, to put it nicely, this thread was started in 2006.
