So what's the benefit to using a 3 cylinder compared to a similar displacement 4 for fuel economy/power? It seems like with the inherent vibrations of a 3 that a 4 would be more efficient.

M cars are never all about acceleration though. Handling is a much more valued trait than acceleration

As much as I adore Volvo as an owner myself, these never really were on the same level as an M3.

After looking up what a lemon party was from this article I'm scared to go back on "the Google"

Yeah for sure. de Nysschen does strange things to the nomenclature, but he leads the company to making damn fine products.

Thats what I use mine for too! I don't see how they're so confusing, it caught me off guard the first time I got in, but it wasnt perplexing at all. I find that whenever I get in any other car I find my self pulling towards myself in the handle, when its just a regular plebeian handle

It's quirks like these that make me love Volvo. They always have to do things a little different. Perhaps the most notable example in my car is the door handles, which instead of grabbing on to, you pull a little trigger towards you. It's on this picture. Why do they do that? Because volvo!

They're all alkanes, what could the difference between motor oil and salad dressing be?

They were also $100,000 adjusted for inflation!

Where can I find this mythical RWD Cavalier?

A supercharger on a ceiling fan would be a fan belt powering a fan

$100k?! I had no idea they were that much!
