Volvo, will you please make boxy, candy colored sedans again? Please?

Today's Volvo is lease-only unless you want to be eaten alive by maintenance and repairs.

You guys know the ones I’m talking about.

This is OP. Thanks for that great photo. This is exactly what my interior looked like!

This brings back so many memories! That pull down center thing was our border and kept my brother and I from killing each other on more than one road trip!

My friend got the hand me down yellow beast from her parents. I loved it when she drove b/c we could always spot it easily in a parking lot.

I wish they would bring back the XC70

Grew up with 240s!

I sometimes think of buying an old 240 wagon just for the fun of it. Keep it in the garage and take it out for the occasional spin. They were so functional, probably the best relationship between function and design of any car.

Our 2017 XC60 T5 has been trouble free. Which I didn't expect. But I would not buy again. 2017 is the last year with somewhat analog tactile controls, buttons. I don't like cars with huge ipads or mini TVs inside and no buttons. Too distracting and in the case of Volvo, problem ridden.

If they came out with a rose gold Honda Odyssey- I’d be first in line to buy it. And no, that awful maroon doesn’t count.

I've never understood why all cars lately must be black, grey or silver and white. Just have some fun colors that are actually visible on the road!
