Based on a Mitsubishi common rail...developed in the 80's ...anyone out there that knows about cars...Mitsubishi cars are junk... even with a "Volvo reskin", Renault engine that is prone to premature belt failure causing extensive damage...and what was once a bullet proof toyota slushbox, volvo and ford engineers screwed. FWD Mitsubishi and Mazda based Volvos are garbage..not durable like the old rear drives.

@ShaolinKungfuArnhem It's no giant engineering feat to offer every production car in an AWD version. The weather in the states is so extreme - there's no telling how wacky it will get in just the next few years so buying any car with an AWD system makes sense. I was on a road that flooded for the first time in 100 years - AWD got me home that day Snowstorms, floods, wet downward curves - it's nice to have a switch within reach that kicks in all the wheels when the unexpected arises.

@trainlinezoo Volvo had a v8 awd before that.

@mushaddiv You make this assumption without asking which mods have been done. Why do mods void a warranty? There are laws against voiding warranties - If a dealer voids you just get it in writing and go see a lawyer. A good attorney can be very convincing as to helping dealership managers to reverse voids. I've had my car at the dealer to have them do specialized work more than 4 times since mods - no problem.

@trainlinezoo with 5k in mods, i doubt your 10 year warranty would be valid.

@sedag100 How do you tell your financier he cannot sell his goods in your market? Honestly, if you are a car mfg that can build and finish a car for $3,500 that costs $6100 in the US what do you do? The game certainly changes If that Tata nano car ever comes to america at the crazy price of $3800 brand new fully loaded with optional upgrades that include AWD and a small Turbo Diesel for $7000. They'll sell that car to every fed up bus rider just itching to get a license. New Fords cost $.

@trainlinezoo I hope that China don't get a big marketshare on the carmarket, only today the asians have to much space there, they're not worth it! Hate there valueless "cars". Copycats, ugly design and cheap (!) useless quality are not a thing to survive on. Fingers crossed that Volvo get a reasonably good capital to buy of themself from Geely!

Wait a minute - if you're all smiling, waving at the camera and hugging each other, who is assembling the cars? Haha just jokin - I have an SX-4. the reason I bought an SX-4 was because Volvo wasn't offering a sporty AWD in 2008. Things are changing now that Geely China is buying Volvo. The entire company for Less than $2 billion. The geely website has a pic of a white man turning over a corporation and an asian writing the check. China can soon dominate all markets. Cheap cool cars soon in USA?
