Mercedes went above and beyond to meet our needs and was more than willing to deal.
Wife checked out the XC60 and really loved the interior, but the ride was a bit too stiff (a weird volvo characteristic) and didn't like the touchscreen with the lag and no physical HVAC controls. We ended up with a GLC that she really likes.

Hopefully Volvo will update all the cars to the Polestar Google OS and that would fix the tech issues I have with current Volvo's.
