I agree on the safety factor for the Volvo with the wife/kids and all, is also slightly larger than the X-type. LS obviously has the testicles lacking in both the S80 and X-type and is dead sexy in the right color. The poorer gas mileage and smallish tank hurts the range, which sucks on a family daily driver IMO. Grr, tough choice! I guess I'd want my family in the safest bit of kit and will assume that's the Volvo; so S80 it is.
