My dad was a motorhead. He built hot-rods as a kid (including a Mopar powered ‘37 Ford Coupe) and worked at Ralph’s Piston Ring Service.

Did anyone ask him if he was a pirate? Because he looks like a pirate.

Nice to hang on a wall perhaps. It is attractive after all.

Blankets, food and water, right?

I have a 2012 2.5 Premium and I concur with the assessments of this vehicle. Short on excitement but adequate power for my needs. I manage 22 MPG in city driving, and I can cram a week’s worth of heavy camping gear into it without difficulty. It handles light off-roading extremely well. Of the 20-plus cars I’ve owned

Obligatory...

Glad to see my PD2 double-decker story made the grade for this article! Those things were a hoot to drive. RHD, pre-selector transmission and cute college girls holding a red flag on the rear deck. I’m still amazed they paid me to do that job.

You can almost see where the seller peeled the “Konami” sticker off that steering wheel...

Not sure I would have qualified as a “cute” conductor, although I did hear that from the occasional female passenger.

Or something :)

When I was a student at UC Davis, I worked for UNITRANS as a bus driver and occasional conductor and I regularly drove a 1950 ​Leyland PD2 double-decker bus - including this exact one (among several others):

“hearing Peyton Manning speak proudly of his thirst for a third-rate Belgian lager fermented pig urine”

Well that went poorly.

Gypsy dildo punks!

A major improvement over its predecessors. It actually looks pretty damn good.

We send Lil’ Kim a congratulatory case of Ding-Dongs?

This will never be not funny to me.

The commercials for this vehicle made me say “wow, what a nice-looking Volvo” for the first time. It really is an attractive design.

Hahaha. No.

It’s not like they don’t have a point, but still...
