+1 - Great analogy and really captures my feelings on this place as well. Very much the uncanny valley!

I just drove this car for the first time the other day... it was the launch edition with the Gold wheels. I have to say, it was freaking fantastic!!! Amazing steering feel, excellent shifts from a great transmission, and an overall sense of driver-enjoyment that's lacking from so many cars. You can really tell that…

Hey Volvo... HELL. YES.

Probably closer to 1000x the output for the same geographic footprint. 5 Acres of land?!? That could be SEVERAL gigawatt (GW) facilities.

Oh, Hai! We'll meet soon I'm sure...

THIS.

Next Gen Raptor?!?

Yeah, I've been trying for years... and it basically comes down to the fact that she _can_ drive stick, but is scared to do so on MY car. Thus she won't drive it. I've had heard drive all my cars at least once and she did fine (OK, a few stalls) but no big issues. The reality of it is that if she needs to get my…

I think they got this right... I would never consider the 2-door (have family, need access) but I _am_ torn about what transmission to buy:

NIIIICE. That car is on my short-list for new car. Which engine did you get? Which model? How do you like it? Any option you wished you had purchased?

That is an interesting question, and it largely depends on three things (sorry, I'm in a list kind of mood I guess):

I'm 6'4"...

I'm pretty sure they are referencing the 'North Pole Star' which is a nod to their Swedish location. Personally I quite like the blue, which seems nicer in the broad-daylight pictures I have seen. Let's not lose sight of the 350hp wagon which these crazy Swedes have birthed into the world!

Volvo V60 Polestar - 350hp, AWD, Wagon. WIN.

Order a book, get a free drone! Just need a big net in the yard... betcha those'll command a pretty penny on eBay!

I'd LOVE to buy a Raptor, but even used they are going for $45k+ and I really want some of the features on the '12's and newer (front LSD mainly). New Raptor's cost damn-near $60k now, which would be fine, except for my wife, kids, house, food, etc... So I wait.

Actually, I want a mini 'Raptor Fighter' ZR2 edition more than the broke-a$$-Jalop-edition. This platform would make a great starting point for a good pre-runner package. Toss on some long-travel King shocks, skid plates, and the new V6 from the Silverado (maybe even the 5.3v8?) and call it good!

Ultimately, a LFTR reactor running on thorium is the only true solution.

Forever the most awesome.
