Back in 2017 I took this photo at the Boston auto show...

With the exception of one vehicle I drove, the third seats always hit me as “I am losing cargo space for a seat that a small child would struggle to get to.”

Reminds me of a modern down market Freelander. (Where did those all go? I feel like I haven’t seen one in years)

They got the idea from someone else.

So an Element with less room?

It’s called the Great Wall Wingle

Pretty sure it’s impossible to fit 19" brake rotors behind a 20" wheel. Typo?

Hot take, they’re all trash and awkward, the Rolls is the best of the 4, but they just do not flow to me just kill the looks of the cars.

That front end hurts to look at. Interior reminds me of the Fisker Karma, which I can’t say if that’s a good thing or bad.

I’m not opposed to eating at a place like Carrabba’s. If it’s what you have around you, the food is good, but not great. You’ll pay $13.99 for a well executed pasta dish, and a $7 glass of wine.

Whenever I see one and get excited and whoever I'm with asks what the big deal is, I say "you know what a Bugatti is? That Passat basically has half of a Bugatti engine powering it!" Then I get a funny look and have one less friend.

I can attest to how rare the Passat W8 is in the real world. When I was 16 years old, I was riding my bike, and a Volkswagen Passat W8 made a right turn on red — when I had the right of way. I hit the hood, the roof, and then the pavement.

So, if not the Holy Grail, then maybe St. Peter’s Less Holy, But Still Very Holy Chalice?

You say this like its some sort of screamin’ deal. That is a Shit ton of money to pay monthly just to have a new car every few months.

Flooding the used market with 4-month-old cars is not a great idea for Volvo’s new car sales.

For all of Volvo’s posturing as a “sustainable” automaker, this is the worst possible sales model environmentally. Where do these cars go when they’re 4 months old? Especially considering the carbon footprint of EV production is still higher than ICE cars, this seems like evidence that Volvo is just pretending to care…
