Wigwam – I spoke too soon about the X1. Our predicted build date has just been moved back 5 weeks due to component shortages (don’t know whether it’s semiconductor related or not).
Re the XC40, whilst I have given up on it, I emailed Volvo Cars UK to complain about our cancelled test drive and the bull that the dealer told us about Motability orders not being taken as a result of semiconductor issues. Pathetic response, asking if it was OK to pass on my complaint to the dealer to deal with it! I replied saying no, I would like a response from Volvo UK and, specifically, was there any truth in what the dealer told me. I’ve heard nothing since. Leaves a very bad taste in the mouth. I’m just relieved that I didn’t have my heart set on an XC40.
Hope that your test drive of the Inscription Pro goes well as I sense you fancy a change from the X1. I would still check out the facelifted X1 properly before you finally decide though. It does look much better inside and out than the pre-facelifted version and also has a good few grands worth of extra kit as standard over the 2018 model that you have. You can also get the 4WD one now if you want it (as we did).
