The P2 XC90 had several cosmetic face-lifts over its' lifetime.

There was a limited run of the electric blue Ocean Race V8 version of this model produced in 2005-2006.  They are pretty rare in the USA.

Most early model P2 XC90 models will inevitably have transmission issues . The 4T65 and early TF80 transmissions seem most proned to issues but the AW55-50/51SN can have issues too.  It is of great benefit to flush these transmissions on a regular basis as they have no filtration and do produce a significant amount of fine particulate during operation. This abrasive particulate wears out the valve body solenoids which can cause shift flare or extremely hard shifts.
