That’s just a warmup. The real rodeo comes when you slam Ford or Mazda.

The same thing happens when you say something positive about a Honda.

Current Volvos have ridiculously long hoods. It looks cool, but it ’ s just excessive for that Meth - Addled Hamster they use for an engine now.

There. I said it. Sorry not sorry.

^^ How I feel when I make a heavy-hitting comment on Jezebel or The Root.

Nothing like waking up in the morning, seeing 75 notifications, and thinking “oh fuck, what did I do?”

This triggers me on the Prelude, but doesn’t with new Volvos for some reason.

Yeah, but I’ll give the Prelude a pass because so many cars were image-based and less practical back then. Especially in the “sporty” segment, which was mostly a bunch of mid-100hp FWD coupes. None of them have anything on full-size pickups, which could fit 4 engines under those hoods.

They’re $282 per tire for top-of-the-line performance all-weathers, so honestly not that bad. The 275 mm fronts are about $40 per tire cheaper. Could probably get a full set for under $1000 not including install.

Even another set of high-performance run-flats is $1,300 per set, so could be worse.

I’ll probably replace the vehicle before it needs new tires anwyay.

Also don’t go back and read my comments. Its creepy and sometimes I write embarrassing stuff...

Volvos are alright, but I agree. The Mazda circlejerk is even worse. At least Volvos don’t usually rust so much that they split in half after five seconds.

I honestly don’t know why there’s an enthusiast circlejerk over Volvos. It’s a family car with even more weight and safety bloat added than the mainstream family cars. What the fuck is enthusiastic about this?

I mean you wanted to discuss and old comment of yours without linking it, I had to do my own independent research. No more fake news, we all have to look it up ourselves.

My guess is some people are into seatbelts, excessive airbags, and pedestrian crash safety like we are into driving feel, handling, and performance. But then...who the hell are these people? I wonder if there’s like a group that mods their cars for extra safety like people do to performance.

“Bro, I just got these dual seatbelts with auto tensioners that give me 10% more pretension on my belts!”

“Nice dude, I added this extra A pillar on top of my 12" thick A pillar for that extra rollover protection.”

Having grew up in them, they are shit cars at that. All of the driving dynamics of a more numb than stock Camry, none of the reliability.

95 and 90? I dont know what a % is, but I assume with numbers like that you are talking about honda horsepowers

Those reasons are why I like them. And yet they still put out awesome technology like their tri-charged T8 engines, some of the most comfortable seats in the industry, and Incredible sound systems.

Why an enthusiast site like this likes them I don’t know.

5 cylinders are cool. The new turbocharged and supercharged 4 cylinder is quite interesting. The exterior of modern Volvo’s are pretty unique. The interiors are minimalist, but very modern, which is something no other automaker has done yet.

So basically, Volvo is different. Which is enough for people to like them. And drive a modern polestar or mid 2000's s60r/v70r. Absolutely insane.

Plus Volvo has tons of racing heritage, and their older cars are fantastic platform to build up!

Does Honda still build cars?

They still have that U.K. plant. But they probably send more cars here than they do to you guys on the continent. (Insert Brexit joke here.)
