Volvo one of the few that really cares about the people driving it and not the money!

It would be fantastic if they would create a p1800 for the 21century.

Chrysler had their PT Cruiser. Now I want to see a Volvo PV Crusier ;)

It's my understanding that for the TV show The Saint, Jaguar and other British car companies wouldn't give them free cars, but Volvo did.

And Roger Moore liked the car so much that he bought one for his personal use.

I get pissed when I see a car commercial on TV boasting that their newest and greatest car gets over 30 miles a gallon like it’s a big deal. My 89 Volvo 245 TANK gets 30 mpg in the summer. My 83 245 TANK gets 27. Its been 28 years. Shouldn’t we be able to increase efficiency at least a little?

@ijkd I'm not going to say the c30 is a bad car, but i don't feel that it has the same kind of allure the p1800 had. I'd like something along the lines of what Mattias Vocks designed.

@yusufer5000 They have - it's called the C30
