Not that urban myth. I was thinking along the lines of reliability and build issues

Weren't these cars total disasters?

I don't get this. CARB has highly transparent emissions rules, and those rules are published with 7-10 year lead times for changes. On other words, these laws that CARB is asking VW To meet are decades old already and available to anyone. Why is it so hard for VW?

I guess Kaiser’s car company wasn’t very “permanente”.

Got one as a rental a few weeks ago. Man did that thing feel dated. It felt like a 2003-2007 accord could give the interior of this thing a lesson or two.

Weird. The police appeared to have not fired blindly at this guy.

Probably didn’t want a DUI.

I have to correct you in this case.

Pretty much every car mfgr in the world has dozens of Prii in various stages of tear down

THIS is why you don't live in a van, dude.

There are German dealers that sell USDM. Hell, Toyota even sells Siennas outright in Switzerland.

Damn. If only they had the Mondeo wagon here in the US in THAT config.

Vancouver? You mean Richmond? ;-)

Thanks for the clarification. I know Shanghai GM, Opel, GM Korea and GM Technical Center collaborate pretty tightly on many projects.

Well....is this one also designed by GM Korea?

Cortana integration? Out of now/Siri/cortana, MSFT is the only one pushing the boundaries hard on 3rd party integration

Well, are you?

This is where things get weird. Inscription is a trim level on the new 90s, but long wheelbase on the S60

I thought the whole canbus data network that Volvo uses started in the late 98-99 with the S80? They were supposed to simplify the whole vehicle electronics with a next gen data network, but just seem like diagnostic nightmares in practice. My last Volvo was an 850, but my sisters 04 xc70 seems okay still at 150k+
