I don't think all old Volvos are ugly, just that 240 Soltaa posted.

i dont know how people dont find the boxy volvos nice, i find them very unique and beutiful in there own way. Hell i even like the citroen DS which is own to be one of the ugliest cars of all time, id rock a DS ANYDAY, Hell i even like the 2CV. REAL car enthusiats appreciate every car in its own way, fake car enthusiats only like certain cars.

Errr.. No. It's called preference. People that "appreciate all cars" appreciate none because they don't even know what they want.

It doesnt have to do anything with WANTING the car, its appreciating the design and engineering that went into it especially when its a classic car. I wouldnt buy a (for example) ford mustang 5.0L but i still find the new ones pretty nice, I dont WANT the new Kia Optima but i appreciate the design and engineering that went into producing the car to make it look and feel more appealing to buyers. I wouldnt BUY a Sentra but i like how they used the CVT and how roomy the back seats are. I could go on all day.

Volvo's are nice.

Go back to 96 the Volvo 850 wagon R, this thing was so good it was in touring car championship and it did pretty well as a WAGON!



Fast forward a couple years when they launched the s60 it was sleek the age for volvo's with aerodynamic body, the v70 looked great too and it still retain the boxy rear end for the cargo.


Then look inside the volvo's dash the s40 to be exact. Floating dash nothing behind the hvac controls. No cars has these

Looking now the just brought out the xc60 R, with the special red paint and dual tone leather it looks FANTASTIC!


No one said volvo's are ugly. They have been unique and it has worked for them. Think ikea furniture they don't look "normal".

edit:

the 240 you posted is ruined by the stance. It simply doesn't fit, sad to say I love stance! but this.... isn't the way to do it

pretty sure the wheel in the OP is actually from a Celica RC, it looks exactly like my MOMO which was a factory option.

I'm a fan of the 850, 740, and 940, but I'm not really feeling the 240. I wanted a Volvo as my second car, but couldn't find one that wasn't beat to shit.

Posted before, but kinda relevant

Volvos are nice but not when they are modded to the point that it looks like it has busted suspension and tires too small for the rims. Just as you can appreciate a civic, but not the mod job when it's riced out.

I like volvos but not the ruined ones in the OP.

Are we talking about the wheels in the first post? They look like widened steel wheels that are painted white.

I thought we were talking about the steering wheel? The wheels are indeed widened steelies. Like I said earlier, they were originally meant for an 850 (high offset) so he is running spacers on his car.

I spent ages looking for a good 850R. Would love to have one. That said, I'd love even more to have an old 7 series.

850r's come up fairly often. Haven't gone to check any out so i don't know how beat up they tend to be or not. But those 7 series are a dime a dozen out here!
