I hope they do too, but it seems that Volvo has followed in Mercedes-Benz’s footsteps and is out of the manual transmission business entirely, well, in the United States at least.

As somebody who currently drives a Volvo, I have to say I absolutely love what Volvo is doing right now and planning on doing in the future. A triple charged engine is unbelievably cool.

I don’t think the age needs to be lowered to 18 to get more drivers into trucks. The trucking industry is going to have to change the way they pay drivers. They currently overwork drivers, underpay them (like less than $25k a year in a lot of cases), and make them be away from their homes and families for weeks at a…

I find it ironic that so many people blamed Bush for the great recession, when the seeds of the great recession were actually sowed during Clinton’s presidency.

I don’t like it. It was better before. Those rows of LEDs look very aftermarket and tacky. It also looks like it’s straining itself while trying to pinch off a massive turd.

The same car you drove while you dated her, with a younger more attractive girl in it with you.

Haha I drive a 2004 V70 and it’s definitely a bit of a dad car. My ex liked that car too. I’m not having kids anytime soon however.

Of course the sedan still matters, to say the sedan is dying and that nobody will miss it is a very brash overstatement. It’s going to take a sales decrease of way more than 3.4% to make sedans irrelevant in the United States. They are still a very popular choice, and that’s a good thing because I absolutely despise…

Yup. It doesn’t help that the government is mandating backup cameras on all new cars in the next few years. History has proven many times that over-regulation usually ends up being a bad thing.

Volvos in general are some of the most timeless cars on the road. Especially the older boxy ones. They still look great today.

There’s literally no reason for anybody in the entire world to buy this piece of garbage. It would have been better had the seller just left it alone. This car is beyond ruined.

I agree, but don’t forget that new technology/infotainment and cars having more high end options available on them today is also partially to blame for driving up the prices of new cars as well. Have you noticed that nobody wants to buy the base model of most new cars anymore?

I’ve always had a soft spot for E24’s. By far the best looking BMW ever made so far and probably ever will be. The actual 2015 6 Series was originally designed during one of BMW’s worst design eras, and despite the facelift still has a bad case of Bangle-Butt.

I’ve had that same thought many times. Too bad it’s just a pipe dream.

I try to let things go if I can. I know I can’t change much from where I’m sitting, but typically I mutter curse words under my breath, give the occasional “what the hell do you think you’re doing?!” shrug if they really piss me off, or I’ll get away from them or let them get away from me.

1st Gear:

You wanna explain? I’m having a hard time understand how that could possibly be racist.

Why do you drive a station wagon? That question pisses me off so much!

Did they really have to show a picture of it in band-aid tan?

This really wasn’t something that I was hoping to see today....
