This is my DD. I would love an “updated” one, but even if Volvo made one it would likely be Europe only.

If I lived in a different end of the country (and had a different wife), this car would be sold. Easiest NP of the year.

Collectable, and at this price, drivable without fear of destroying a museum piece. Posting has been removed-you may be too late! Easy NP.

The test is for 20-30 degrees ABOVE zero? This is not cold weather where I live (Minnesota).  Below zero weather is a fact of life here. 

Exactly. The market is (weirdly) saturated with hybrid supercars. 

The French haven’t done many truly fancy cars, but this is one of them. Plus, that dashboard is simply lovely. For the right francophile wallet: NP.

Where I live everybody acts like COVID is over and nobody wears masks anymore. So I’m reverting to pre-COVID NPOND ratings: A non-running C3 isn’t a $5500 car. ND

I’m in MN. The conservative lawmakers here are treating real ID as the mark of the beast and have been dragging their feet.

Your Tesla isn’t going 300 miles in Minnesota when it’s -10 degrees. But, as Ford helpfully suggests, if you don’t run the heater or defroster it will go a bit farther.

The hidden costs of EV ownership:

There may be more hypercars for sale in America than station wagons. Another 1000 HP rich-guy toy is old news.

Honestly this is about it. Unless it’s the even dumber: “’cuz we’ve always done it this way”

I’m a pretty faithful Jalop but admit I had, in fact, forgotten almost all of these. Obvious idea for future QOTD: Which new cars will we have forgotten by the next time Jalopnik asks this question? My vote would be almost anything from Infinity and that little crossover from GM (trax?)

Hot take: nothing GM made in 1988 is worth $19,500.

Low miles, nice updates, great shape. Easy NP

“Alarmingly described in retrospect as a ‘test bed’ for later W12 and W16 engines”

“Every line and crease you see on the body serves an aerodynamic purpose” Except the grill. The grill is there so your neighbors know you have a BMW. This is the issue for most modern carmakers as they turn the EV corner: Their most distinctive feature, the “corporate grill” is not needed/vestigial. 

I live quite near you and also see a ton (well, several tons actually) of full-sized trucks lumbering about. My favorite is seeing these pointless behemoths “parked” at MSP where they occupy 1.5 spaces and a good part of the driving lane as well. No thanks.

Republican who view EVs as occult talismans sent by satan.

For me the question is “What’s the biggest car you could actually live with?” I am in an urban area and yet almost all new cars are far bigger than I want or need. When I had young kids everyone said I needed an SUV or a minivan. I got a VW Beetle instead-I mean little kids are pretty small and they easily fit in the…
