I was never really a big fan of Volvo's until I saw their newer model line. The new cars have beautiful lines and I hope they keep building a quality product. Nice car!

The new Volvo turbo is simply awsome. All the new Volvo sedans are awsome when it comes to interior stlying. I drive one every other day and I LOVE the interior.
The only gripe I have about Volvos (and Land Rovers) is lack of steering lock. It's like they have a 4 or 5 lane turning radius when every other car is 2 or 3.

Lol, the new volvo manual shifters are like orbs with a stick. No boot, looks kinda funky.
And SAM, i agree, the 850R with ~250 hp is awesome and looks so damn cool!

Well, it ain't a 951, but compared to my 95 850 Turbo it does seem tighter.
Less body roll, etc...And it is large; that's what I wanted. Their is actually enough room in the back seat for two honest to god adults...
Only real issue I have so far is the PO had Goodrich G-Force on the fronts and Michelin Pilots on the rears...I can't figure that one out. Neither set is bad enough to get rid of, but the Goodrich's look like they will be TERRIBLE in the wet and (I know, sacriledge) I've never been a big fan of the Pilot Sports...
I may try to find a couple of used Pilot Sports (225-45-17...Anybody?) to get a matching set all the way around...
