I have become a fan of the Volvo brand of late. The over all sense of intelligence wrapped up in the beautiful bodies that Volvo now wrap their cars in is exceedingly appealling. I explored a new V70 one day and I decided that one day, if given the chance, I might actually part with a lot of cash for one. I don't believe that Volvos are, as yet, of the same all encompasing excellence of BMWs but they are getting closer and closer. They have a different kind of appeal to them. BM's shout of mass kudos and they may deserve it but Volvos say more (positively) about their owners. They don't say "I'm a touch arrogant, and my car is better than yours" like BMWs, or most German cars, rightly or wrongly, do. They say "I like my cars but I love my family, and the envirnment, and I'm partial to blond women". The brand identy is clearly defined and more appreciated, I think, than anything German. They don't demand respect - they earn it! So, the new V70. Such a fine example of the New Volvo that is rapidly emerging these days. It drives and stuff really rather well. It is super comfortable and rock solid too. They can be fast and fun. On top of that good value.
