You'll have to cough up somewhere around $86,000 USD for one here before tax incentives. Roughly $15,000 USD more than a Volt.

What really gets me is how the engines differ from models despite the same T-number. This extends to the T5 being a five pot in USA despite being phased out for a four cylinder in Europe a couple of years ago. Also the D3 is a five cylinder whilst the D4 is a four cylinder, D4 AWD is a five cylinder making identical…

Volvo said it wont happen. But I'm assuming this hybrid performance will soon be available for more models and engines (petrol) which will see sale in the US. Supposedly some 90% of production has gone to the Netherlands. How big are the tax incentives? In Sweden they are "only" 4500 euros.

You are good my dear sir. They all still look the same to me :>

Never had a good Stella from tap, bottled is okay.

8 CLA's averaging $35,000 USD for a total of 1.8 million swedish kronor.

Saab Aero X finally comes to our world.

You are pretty spot on. V60 Polestar not enough? But I think a V40 based cabriolet would be better. Basing this on nothing other than that I see more smallish than largerish cabriolets around here. A new V70 should be the next after XC90. So 2 years away at least together with the new S80.

That three-minute leeway, by the way, is the most stringent standard in the EU. I don't have the official policy off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure in the US they don't really count you as late as long as you arrive in the same decade.

And that looks like the one fat kid in Sweden.

I can promise you this will be much better than the pug 308.

The honour is all mine. You'll find warm spiced wine throughout Europe, even the ancient Greeks and Romans liked to hide the taste of their bad wine with spices. I can't stand it so I drink the kids version, warm black currant squash.

Call me an Opel skeptic, I have to admit I have no experience with that generation. A friend of mine had a rusted out Kadett D which is probably one of my worst car experiences. Good luck finding a GSI that's not rally spec or has rusted away.

Aint no snow in most of Sweden.

Actually, the Swedes don't call it "mulled wine," they call it "glögg." I don't know why. They insist on speaking their own language. But I'm sure it's delicious, either way. And in case you actually do live in Miami, here's some footage of an old Volvo hooning through some Swedish snow, just to get you in the…

I think it was the best cheap alternative in the Golf sector at the time like many other ECOTY sadly. Surely was soggy and probably one of the saddest clutches in modern time. The best thing about the diesel engines are that you realize how far we have come in just a couple of years. I don't understand why they kept…

I've driven Peugeots extensively and the 307 isn't that bad. They made some other weird choices like the Opel Kadett E

You don't get the Cruze Wagon either right? Heh I've driven the Cruze Wagon in brown with a manual and diesel.

Swedish/English word-play: “It’s not the fart that kills, it’s the smäll” (smäll meaning ‘impact’, but pronounced ‘smell’. 'Fart' means 'speed'). I hope this makes sense.

Or my favourite car-related one. Behåll växeln, det är jämnt: Keep the gear, it is always. (växel meaning change and gear, jämnt meaning even and…
