i actually considered getting one of these on the used market. well, when i say that my thought was really getting a Flex on used market, but then I thought, hey, maybe i can afford the luxury brand model of the Flex. I then had to remember that Lincoln was the luxury brand for Ford. I then had to dig in and eliminate…

i was looking for citroens on this list, i would rock one of those!

the updated infotainment system is a huge plus, just look at the current model and compare. also, from what i’ve read, the usable interior space on the new model is much greater. i looked at a current generation v60 and the rear seat room is “poor” at best. put some tall people in the front seats and the rear seats…

I currently own a C30 and it is a wonderful car. i bought mine a few years ago and it was right in that price range so all good on that front. I get more questions about mine from random folks than i thought i ever would, some don’t even realize it’s a volvo (though is says so right there...). the only criteria i…

i find the styling on cars from this era so refreshing now. at the time i probably thought they were to “blobby”, but given the current trend of endless creases (i’m looking at you toyota) and bat-crazy headlight design, these are a model of simplicity. plus, that greenhouse man!

i looked at the current generation of V60's but didn’t pull the trigger. the main deciding factor was the rear seat room. with the driver’s seat in a position for anyone over, say 5'10, there was just absolutely no room in the rear seats. I’ve seen reviews of the new XC40 and all of them say the rear set room is good,…

funny, a buddy of mine were talking about the little V4 in these things. his immediate reaction was to try to jam something bigger in the sonett. however my thought was what other small car could you shove that V4 into and give it a horsepower boost? i came down to two, austin mini and a citroen 2v. though i admit a…

One of these parked near my favorite pub, must have lived in the area. Every time i saw it i would think, hey, i forgot toyota made the paseo. and yes, EVERY TIME i saw it. that is how forgettable it was, between weekly visits i would forget the thing existed.

my guess is that IF they even offer it in the good old US of A they will follow the same approach as the V90. None on the dealer lots, but feel free to special order one if you like...

that was my first thought. actually before i read the the post or watched the video i wondered what michael mckean had to do with the grand tour...

the only surprising thing about this is the fact that Bottas and Raikkonen
did anything even remotely co-operative. not in a good way mind you, but still...

absolutely, and i’m one of those folks who will be looking at these in a few years when they start rolling off of lease (provided they lease many of them to begin with).

i’ve actually been looking forward to seeing this thing for quite some time. i agree with a lot of folks that the C/D pillar is a bit cumbersome looking in monotone, but the contrasting roof color really helps it from the outside. however on the inside the back seat must feel claustrophobic, though that is far from…

there is also a cover of black hole sun by steve and eydie. this is from an absolutely wonderful album containing a number of great / strange covers called lounge-a-palooza. i do enjoy freaking people out with various selections from this recording.

i agree. some of the issues with Max’s car may just be bad luck, but not all of them. at some point the adage of “you make your own luck” has to come into play. Max does things he shouldn’t do at times he shouldn’t do them and certainly at places he shouldn’t do them. Because he is certainly very talented, he…

First off, let me say that i’m glad that Kimi is keeping his seat at ferrari. He deserves it and it fits well. However, that said, i would dearly love to see what other series Kimi could enliven. I’m thinking stadium super trucks...

thanks Bimmerphile?, didn’t see your response until after i posted again.

yes, but as a custom order only. none on the dealership floor. that will greatly cut down on the number sold (i don’t have specifics on that), so the used market is going to be very thin. also, i don’t know if they are leasing them at all in the US, so picking up a used one coming off lease will probably not be an…

well, volvo already disappointed me recently. i had been hoping to get a used V90 (not V90 Cross Country) in 2 to 3 years when they come off lease. however, since they are not going to have them on the lots here in the states that plan is out the window. i guess i have to see when (or if) a V40 is available in US…
