Only until you try pretty much any other coffee and/or donut. Tim Horton’s is a national embarrassment.

This is the type of car that would make me consider A GM product for the first time in a long...well, ever. Let’s hope it’s true.
The E is a fine looking wagon, but personally, I’m much more excited about the C-class wagon coming here* , as that is at least a semi realistic purchase at some point.
The Subie is a very capable car (probably more so than the Volvo in terms of AWD) and there’s a reason why they are popular. But personally, I find the bloated design of the Outback to be rather unfortunate. If you put emphasis on design, quality, and ergonomics (and if you’re shopping for a luxury crossover, I assume…
The XC60 is indeed a very nice crossover. I just couldn’t help feeling like a middle-aged mom driving it. And like most crossovers, the rearward visibility sucks, and I dislike how most of the cargo room is vertical. But yes, it is definitely still really nice.
Before you buy a luxury crossover, check out a used Volvo XC70.
Yep, that’s a good point.
Keep in mind though, with photography you can control the angles somewhat to mitigate any unbecoming viewpoints. The video from yesterday was probably a bit more real-world...and it sure didn’t look that good there.
I’m a Porsche owner and I think the Miami Blue is gorgeous. Anything but more silver and black is welcome in my books.
Wishful thinking perhaps, but more manufacturers should offer a wagon version of their sedans since it at least makes them look a bit more crossovery in shape/function.
You may also want to give the C30 a look...same basic car, but in hatchback form. You don’t get the wagon practicality of course, but it may not be needed. It may also be considered more “cute”, which may or may not be important for a teenage girl.
Oh my foot is heavy enough. Around the city is fine, I just find it a bit weak on the highway especially when we have it loaded up with 2 kids and all their crap. A manual transmission would at least help (alas, ours is auto). Having driven the T5 though (my mom has a C30 with one), it’s a much more responsive…
The Colorado is definitely a good option these days. I just wish it was more compact, as its no small truck anymore either (I doubt the Ranger will be small either of course).
For a relatively small car, the cargo area is really nicely sized...much more so than the V60 that replaced it, and like you said, more than many crossovers. My MIL’s Murano has trouble loading the amount of stuff that goes easily in the V50's boxy shape.
I actually quite like the Ridgeline myself. It’s not overwrought and I think it will age well from a design perspective. It would’ve been nice if they offered something other than the double cab, but I know that’s what most people buy.
Maybe it’s just me, but the whole appeal of the Ranger was the hope that it would be a more honest truck that wouldn’t go all in on the try-hard manly-man, chrome-everything, garish aesthetic of today’s full size trucks.
Make this...but only if there is the option to get a camping version with a pop top.
I’m actually more sad that Volvo doesn’t have their 6-cylinder T6 anymore. It’s a really amazing engine. No matter how many turbos and superchargers you add on, you’ll never get that level of refinement with a 4.
I know I’d rather they just sell it here, but at the very least I wish every manufacturer did something like this to cater to the enthusiast. It would be great if you had the option to do this with a manual 3 series wagon, or a BMW 5 series/Audi A4/Mazda 6/Ford Fusion wagon period. This way manufacturers wouldn’t have…
Yeah, dumb mistake on my part.
