R580 TOPLINE 4 Nov 2004 13 October 2005 Scania is about the only manufacturer with a reputation it could dine out on and although sales
don't reflect its status its price tag does. Residuals for flagship Scanias are by far the strongest in the industry.
EGR and SCR are both available and it seems Scania has spread its bets, but in truth it hasn't developed a viable enough option for the glory boys without using an added substance.
Although there's a
weight penalty for selecting the extra litres, horsepower and torque. [les of little consequence if you really want it.
Cabs are the sleeper, Highline and Topline with transmissions the
same as the fleet option. The only downsides are the price and the bunk arrangement in the Topline.
