Hello, just joined as a possible future Volvo owner. Two leases are coming due in less than six months, I might replace one with a used Volvo (or new lease). S80, S90, V90/960w, V70/XC70, V50 manual...not sure yet. Probably a wagon, preferably with a manual trans.

Ithought Volvos were just more Euro-garbage until 2001 when I started working as an engineerfor part of Aisin AW (Volvo's auto trans supplier); and started working with a V70, and S60T-5. The S60 changed my views on the brand. And since they are tied to Ford, I could actually stomach the purchase of a "foreign" car.

Currentvehicles are: 2007 Grand Caravan SXT, 2006 Fusion SEL manual, 2004 Mustang GT Conv., 1998 Honda Magna, 1995 Escort GT. http://mlav.com/car

Also looking at the Flex, Taurtus X, CX-9, Taurtus/Sable/MKS, Mazda3/5/6, Fusion, Focus...

 

Welcome. Glad to have you on board.
