    Cool. A Volvo that's not boring. Those are rare. You don't see much of those these days.

    Nice car. Understated and fast. I like it.

    I find those V70's far better looking than the latter ones, possibly the best looking station wagons ever.

    Besides the S80 and the S brand, they still look kinda mundane. Just my opinion. And they all look the same now. Hard to differentiate them from one another.

    Better looking then the latter ones i agree, but as for best looking station wagons not to much, I think last-gen audi wagons, especially the all-road are the greatest looking of all time.

    That having been said, a station wagon that does 0-100 in 6 secs is sweet. Volvos are generally underated, people only think safety, this is an example of more then just that.

    Wow, I'm usually against Volvo because their owners are mostly pricks where I live, so the brand image I have is quite bad. Anyway, that thing is powerful, 0-60 in 6 seconds! Very impressing. Also, the car looks good as do the wheels.

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I love Volvo's!!!!!!!
    I've grown up with 2 friends Dad's driving 2.5litre Volvo 850's and a friend who's Mum thrashed a 1998 V70 SE Sport 2.5 up until last month, they're just so cool, they're cheese block styling, the sheer size and then the noise the 2.4 and 2.5 made...
    At current there are 5 silver V70's in my area, they are bombproof! well, almost... (R.I.P Sprinks' V70)
    And then in 1999 we sadly parted with our '95 LR Discovery TDI and oh-so nearly purchased one of these said cars. a shiny new bright red V70R AWD 2.4 with my name on the end of the plates, but for some reason my Dad decided to leave it and go buy a car from the marque he'd always wanted, guess what...

    Your Dad's got one hell of a car there, lucky sod...
