Do any of you think that Volvo is cool?

[Sweeney921]

how can you possible get in that?

[ZerK]

Yeah, Volvos are cool! Some of the models look great, especially the R models.

It's mainly the older models that really pull the pensioners, and more recent models Volvos are starting to appeal to younger buyers. Another few years, and Volvos could be just as creditable younger peoples cars as Fords, VWs, and the rest. I sure hope so, as Volvo make great cars and deserve to be recognised as more than just a four-door invalid carriage for wrinklies.

ZerK, for your information, a fully rallye prepared PV544 is currently participating in the Tour Auto. Amazons have a good reputation as circuit cars as well.

[Rijoh]

Yeah, the old Golf II was really pretty...

I drive a Volvo 121 Amazon '69 every day to school, my dad own like 10 cars and they are all Volvos... They are reliable, some are fast, most are goodlooking and I love them all.

I mean the present German competitors like, BMW's/ Merc's/ Audi's/ VW Passet etc.

Then why are you talking about Volvos being all blocky? Compare 80's cars to 80's cars, and 90's cars to 90's cars.

The biggest problem with the "older" Volvos (1980's and before) is IMO the _soft_ suspension.

there was an oldish volvo out at the track day i went to recently ( there is a thread somewhere on the site) and it was going 10/10ths. he was a full 3 seconds quicker then a rx-3! (both were fantastic to watch) the drivers were good mates and were trying to knock eachothers name for their class's trophy! simply amazing!

i think volvo is a great brand. offer me one and i will take it.. i would take any car you offered me however!

[crisis]

Hey Matra, not cool! Some Volvo's are far from dull! I love all the T5 and R models even the blocky ones cause I think they look really cool.

The S60R is awesome, and I think the XC90 is a pretty cool car aswell.

I'm a big fan of Volvo I think they are a brand on the way up!

Don't you dare diss Volvo again!

Thank you!

Jari asked Do any of you think that Volvo is cool? You should not be surprised if you get negative comments. Volvos reputation was long earned for safety and safety = not cool. Their designs have encaptulated all that is boring up until recently. It will take more than a few overly clever ads and pleadings from the faithful to turn around deep seated attitudes. By all means keep trying. For myself there is too much else out there to choose from, that I like better to ever contemplate a Volvo in my drive way.

My dad used to have a 340, does that explane why I don't like Volvo's. Cause the 340 is ugly as hell...

[SPN:DOC]

hey don’t you dear diss Volvo, my dad has a 1999 s80 T6 and before that he had a T5 850 1996, i think the s80 is better then e39 5 series and w202 E class. You would say the same thing if you had one, it’s a great car.

And there is nothing wrong with been safe..
