Clarkson thinks Volvos are cool. Make of it what you will, it’s midnight and a little bit and I’m rapidly losing the ability to think.

After driving a V60 XC last weekend I can confirm Volvo Wagons are super cool.

Generic but sophisticated is probably a good way to put it. It’s easy to make a good impression in a Volvo because people usually don’t have some sort of preconceived notion in the first place (not like the BMW stigma, the Audi stereotype, the Lexus cult, etc.)

Oh jeez, you know what I mean, all the Asian soccer moms who shuttle around all day in their ES’s and RX’s...

I remember that episode on TV. Pretty much sums up the appeal of modern Volvos, the ultimate sleepers/Q-cars.
S80 V8 takes it a step further.
Exhaust note begins one minute in.

Yeah. Probably one of the subliminal reasons I like Top Gear so much, they have a strong appreciation for the Swedish greats ;)

They even raced a 9-5 Aero against a jet fighter, drove an 850R many miles and dedicated a large chunk of an episode to Saab.
Top Gear has done some stupid moves in the past, but this was a good choice.

Don’t forget that Jeremy also decided that the 900 series is both the best car for teens as well as the best car you can get for under £100.
