The switch to Google Maps will definitely be nice since their current maps are crap. Not sure about the other pieces but it probably can't get worse than it currently is. I have the newest XC90 and the on-screen stuff is absolutely horrible. I run into many bugs every day and the response from support has been abysmal.

My wife got an XC90 about 2 years ago and I have to agree. Even changing the channel on the radio is bad - I press next channel, next channel, and it takes me back to the first channel repeatedly.

The car looks and handles great, but we won't be getting another Volvo just because the electronics are so bad.

Agree. I have the same vehicle and am simply astounded at how bad the entire UI is. How can a company like that with such a good brand ship something so awful in their flagship product?
