Default Which would you rather have???

If you had a choice to have a super rare Volvo, yellow 850 T-5R or the ultra rare green 850 T-5R, which would you choose. It is believed that only 35 yellow wagons were shipped to the US and less than 10 green wagons.



Don't forget, both are T-5R's. The main difference is that the yellow will always stand out because people almost never see that color but the green is more rare and would likely be a better sleeper.

Bloody hard choice....
I LOVE the yellow, people who know would know it's special, but the green is a more understated "just a volvo" colour.
And as such would attract less attention from idiots and thieves

I voted green, but if I could, I'd have both..........
Mmmmmmmm, yeah, think I'd go green, based on extra rarity and the 'sleeper' aspect.

Well, after thinking about it, not many people know that Volvo Wagons are fast. A lot of people still think they are diesel. Only a few people will know that the yellow T-5R is a fast car so it will still be a sleeper. The fact that it's yellow will make the whole blow your doors off more memorable. He He! Someone may forget that they got spanked by a green Volvo wagon, but they will likely NOT forget that it was yellow.
