Before we keep repeating ourselves until the apocalypse is upon us, we might just agree to disagree.

Well, I absolutely agree. Haven’t said otherwise anywhere, have I?

Climate change is a finding.

Wow, did you read your post? Climate science is notoriously difficult, but I follow the IPCC’s work and agree with much of it.

“Would be” and “can be done” doesn’t sound like real work life. There are disturbances like telephones, customers and colleagues come by, people do check facebook and the latest cat videos while at work...I still think it is not a possible and thorough way of working. Reading takes time, too.

Haha, economics is social science. You and I both know that there’s massive wiggle room here.

Well, I am an economist, and don’t trust that number. Efficient taxation is a very difficult field. Also, in the real world, higher taxes will usually have a stronger impact either way.

Ok, that’s 297 of 330 complaints in a half work day, which is four hours. All have to be sighted and read. The 33 complaints that are not garbage need to be processed properly.

I don’t know why I’m even answering this, but the discussion is really over. CO2 is one of many factors, and there’s no real doubt about a correlation between human use of fossil fuels and rising temperatures anymore. Temperature records here in Norway are all from the last decade, ot also gets markedly wetter. Sea…

The high beltline and steeply graded windshield makes the whole car look like a Matchbox convertible that someone has stepped on. A new low for cartoonish design?

Well, basically, I agree with you - politics is a mess. Haunted by the lack of logic and the money of lobbyists. But the intentions are there somewhere. There are written goals of CO2-reduction, attempts at completely changing the automobile landscape - like Norway’s successful EV favourism - and the taxation of both…

Cheap and powerful Chrysler - what can possibly go wrong

The adverse effects of fossil fuel on global climate ring a bell?

The NTHSA track record you quote is just wild. Is this the logical consequence of not trusting and thus understuffing public institutions?

I’ve never been much of a BMW guy, but this is a really tempting proposition. In the real world though, running costs will be genuinely hurtful with one of these.

As GtHeaven454 says, this car was not developed under Chinese reign. If you wonder if it’s Chinese, one may answer it is American.

May I suggest a mountain run in the sunset? We need this colour illustrated in proper light.

Even better than the sedan - and the colour looks great! Just one thing I would have done differently when trying to go under the radar anyway: I’d have made the extra spoilers below the fog lights black. They may have a function, but in a Volvo, not showing what you’re having is just perfect. Even though Volvo…

It’s as annoying as interesting, but every car with “quick ambitions” is being compared to BMW. Volvo might be a tad at fault themselves:

Well, full acceleration around other people? “Racing” is a fair enough description.
