What sold me on the xc90 was the Chinese restaurant credit from the dealership.

Yes. It’s the reason why I stayed away from the brand. Got the GLS instead. The xc90, while a nice car, is pretty small. I’m surprised no one has mentioned this with op having three kids. Isn’t the obvious choice a mini van?

The XC90 OP and I are waiting for is being made in the Volvo factory in Torslanda, Sweden. Chinese investment and money are everywhere in car production. Mercdes Benz also has a Chinese partner. Don't understand why saying Chinese-owned is supposed to be a put-down when the company has kept its company integrity, Swedish culture, and aesthetic.

Because it might be hard to get parts in the future when you need them?

I really want to understand, but can't follow what you are saying, why would it be hard for Volvo to get parts compared to any other brand? first time I am hearing this. Sorry, but it seems like you are still trying to put down Volvo for having Chinese investment and making up reasons at this point,

We looked at the GLS, but the lack of a hybrid option was a deal breaker for one of us. The XC-90 isn't perfect--agreed--which is why I posted here to see if I am missing something. It seems the closest of what is presently on the market.

Re a minivan, we looked at some and tried to keep an open mind. Neither of us liked them and it was a pretty immediate no. I appreciate entirely why some may prefer them, but not right fit for us.
