They’re such good damn automobiles though! I couldn’t resist owning both. The dealer knows I’ll be back for the dumb V90 too at this point. It’s really not much taller than the regular v90 and in luxury package it has body colored wide body and overall just reminds me of my old Allroad obsession and yes. Cars mang. whatcha gonna do?
Also pictured, my sweet FiST daily.
Had to sign somethings today and took photos of the BROWN VOLVO WAGON for all you jalops.

I still haven’t seen one of these in the flesh. Are they as good in person as they seem in photos?

Better. Though I own an S and XC so I’m a bit biased lol. But I was astonished as how different the S looks, it’s meaner and it loooong. The V90 looks even better.

That is one of my favorite new car colors, it’s just so classy.
Although, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, I think I’d rather have the XC over the V. Though, I’d need to drive both and see.

The XC is certainly more useful, it’s bigger and has 3 rows actual humans can fit in. But the V90 is just a meaner S90...which has it’s uses as well haha.
But yes mussel blue looks great, the two colors I wasn’t particularly keen on were the ones I ended up pining for. Luminous Sand and Mussel Blue, the Sand was slightly nicer but it was sold :\ Otherwise both cars were fully loaded even with the leather dash upgrades

They seem to look long but they really aren’t. Only 195", which is only 2-4" longer than the average midsize sedan.

Beautiful. I adore the current Volvo lineup, particularly the full-sized offerings. Is this one yours now?

A customer got one just like that on Tuesday. Today, we are installing his accessory rear boot spoiler. It’s going to look gooooood!

looking long is better than being long

yep! Shadow Black FiST and Mussel Blue S90 :)
I had been slowly turning my FiST into more of a tuner, so this will be the new daily and the FiST will garage queen.
I had purchased a Magic Blue XC90 and Osmium Gray S90 for my parents in the past 6 months (mom’s mkt was done and dad’s e400 lease was over)

I still miss my 08 C30 in Orinoco Blue Pearl but I’ve got my dad’s 2015 V60 in Power Blue.
My lotto car is an XC90 T8 R Design in bursting blue on the optional 22s.
Someday.

Congrats. These seem almost too nicely done, I have to wonder if the brand is turning a profit yet, or if the new overlords are subsidizing it.

I hope so! These three models are the tits

Either way, the buyer wins. I sincerely doubt a real profit isn’t being made, but the new owners are essentially a bottomless money pit (as no doubt their government would assist if not doing so already), so maybe it is moot.
