The white XC90 looks similar to the one i spotted in the previous page!. I'm disappointed with the alloys. Is that stock 'cause if that's what one gets for shelling out a bucketload of cash for these cars, i think the Volvo guys need a serious talking to, don't you agree?!.

Yes,those are stock rims on the XC90.But if you spec one in the R-Design trim(the one used in the movie '3 Idiots'),you get fatter rubber and some tasty five spokers,apart from other attractive cosmetic upgrades! It looks really hot in red!

Both the cars look different to me because of the window tints.

The alloys and the tyres get a 100% thumbs down. In my opinion, not at all acceptable for the price of such cars.

OT - I'am not a great fan of Volvos. But even i seriously loved the R Design XC90 in the movie(especially those scenes where the car is really dusty and mud cladden). It looks macho in contrast with the vast mountains and all. But if i was to buy, Oops Sorry !

The Bentley Vibhu shot belongs to the same people who own the A8 & 7 I've posted today, they are really men of good taste...

The Bentley you saw on Harrington Road is a CFS Speed...
