I'm Skondo and I'm based in Hampshire, England. I ordered my V40 last week. It will be my first Volvo, but I have a very long twenty two week wait for delivery. Humph.
No my dealer hasn't given me a reason. I'm not too worried as the lease on my current A3 Sportback doesn't expire until a week or so before the V40 is due, so it has actually worked out okay. I've gone for the D4 in Biarritz blue.
