How are these seats so comfortable, I swear this must involve witchcraft. Pictures and what not to come tomorrow.

Volvo makes the best seats, PERIOD. This isn’t a matter of taste or opinion, it’s fucking fact.

I sat in a XC90 R design and I swear I melted into that seat. Same with the V90, hell the one I sat in was brown with a beige interior. Not comfy like a recliner but just so perfectly supportive.

I just obtained an 05 V70 and I would describe a similar reaction.

The 4Runner is really good, especially considering what it is, and that it’s a nearly 20 year old interior and the ergonomics are pretty good. But Volvo is just on a whole new level. I’d love to actually drive one.

You’re in the DC area, right? There is a Volvo meet in Tysons Corner on 9/9 if you are interested. Bring the wagon!

I hate the halfway car/halfway suv seat height in every 4runner but the most recent. Causes my knees to ache in ways that running my Brittanys and over a decade in the Marine crotch don’t. Also, the current gen 4runner does not have a $40k+ car interior, Toyota can pound sand if they think they are getting 40 large out of me for the interior equivalent of a mid 90s shitbox Kia.

Surprised me that it continued after Gely took over ownership and company ethos.

Had a ‘72 142 and an 80s 264 ... seats more comfortable than any Mercedes I’ve ever driven. The seats in my ‘97 SHO were close, but no cigar.

A 2013 Volvo XC70 is the most comfortable car I’ve ever been in. Eve my 1969 144 is amazingly comfy.

Basically, the arrangement is that Geely gives Volvo money, but otherwise leaves them alone. That’s why hehe
