Out driving with the new machine...an XC60 B4, a new fancy Diesel/low voltage battery hybrid solution from Volvo.
After over 5 years with the BMW X5...testing how it is to go back to our former brand...Volvo.
Sure, so much have happened over those 5 years. The Volvo is surely on another level than our old Volvo.
Is it a BMW?...NO!!. And of course not.
It's very different. At the same time - nice, good, calm, kind, soft but not too soft... well, for sure, not bad. And a lot of new tech in the cabin to support the driving. The first car we bought ever without test-driving it! Just ordered by spec and knowing what we wanted. Quite scary in fact.
But everything works well. That said - not sure a touch screen is the way to go β BUT, itβs the future it seems. So many cars got this solution now, but I just love BMW's iDrive solution. Yes, maybe old fashion by now...but it works, and you can have full control AND the eyes on the road - not the screen!
Did we make the "right" choice...? Naah..well, let's see. The BMW was very perfect for us. I have to drive the Volvo for some more weeks to see what I finally feel.
Of course,...a watch had to follow and make one of the first "car-wrist shot" images with the Volvo logo next to it...the IWC Portuguese PPC was my choice.
Many thanks for looking,
Kindest regards

What I love the most about this post is your jacket. Love it! Matches great with everything, watch and car. What's the ref on the IWC?
The IWC is just the steel PPC, ref 5023-08. But I think it suits the Volvo good...cold, steel...Scandinavian design All the best Bent
The jacket is nothing special really, but comfy on the cold days soon to arrive here up in the North... Thank you, Bent
I used to love Volvos and had an 850R many years ago a car I still miss; but I think their current designs are some of the best looking cars on the road today! Nice photo and watch too!
Volvo looking a bit smoother and rounder these days...generally I think. Thanks Bent
