They're boxy but good

Couldn't resist after detailing up our family's Volvo turbo for sale. Just a few pics - not bad looking for a car that's a 1995. It's nearly completely rattle and squeak free at 103,000 miles, something I can't say for my 3,000mi Lancer...oh well. It's got about 240hp and is still very quick from 0 to about 100, but no match for an Evo I know. The paint is so shiny you can see the reflections of the pavement and house across the street. Yeah for Griot's Garage products. Sorry for the large pics.

Thanks insomniac. Even with using a buffer for polish and wax it still was a ***** to get it looking that good. Next time, my OZ is getting the treatment.

I have a 2003 Volvo Cross Country wagon (and a modded 95 Eclipse GSX along with my Evo). It is all-wheel drive, turbocharged and intercooled, just like my other two cars. It has a massive front-mount intercooler, and supposedly is very responsive to mods, although I will never find out firsthand (gotta keep the warranty!). I like my Volvo, but I love my Evo.

2003 XC's are very sweet. ipdusa has a lot of goodies that can lighten your wallet if you so choose . I'm eyeing the S60R myself, but need to save a lot more pennies first. I really like the Evo, but my bones need a more comfortable ride and more luxury. Enjor your XC

My wife and I honeymooned in Germany in 1997, and we were somewhat surprised to find that most of the Volvos we saw on the Autobahn were driving in excess of 200 km/h (124 MPH).

When we got back home, we figured if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for us. A few weeks later, we bought the newly introduced 236 HP S70T5, and it's been my wife's daily driver for over six years now.
