I have just ordered a new car and do not care for your hating on it... I feel v. good about it.
It's a Volvo, one of those twin engine things, the S90 T8. Just the bog standard no optional extras one.
Couldn't get it in the colour I wanted because that takes 6 months, but I got it in something that makes it look like a diplomats car and that's fine by me.
This is for 90% motorway use, and the hybrid engine thing should be great for that. I never really used the Mini in the city so I can't imagine doing so with this either, but the diesel hate is enough for me to think it's not safe buying a diesel when local council policy seems dead set against them, and I wasn't even convinced it was safe buying a petrol car... but a plug-in electric for the city that has a petrol engine that can do the motorway range... yeah that works.
