Hi All,

I am making a 2015 greeting card as shown below. This is only early stage concept. I would like to know what kind of Volvo you own currently. Or you had one or two in the past. Or you wish have one in the future.

Please let me know if you don't see your name and want to be on this amazing card. Thank you as always.

      Hi Klaus,

      I love the styling. So how was it?

        I liked the styling and interior, especially the electric seats. The seat would automatically slide forward when the backrest was moved forward to allow for more room to get into the rear seats, and, then the seat would slide back to the prior position when the seat back was locked into place. No other car maker does this, even today.

        The engine was the terrible 6 cyl. What a piece of junk! I had thoughts of throwing it into a dumpster and inserting a 4 cyl turbo, but that cost more than the car was worth. It was the engine that made me donate it to a local mechanic training school - that would have been interesting to watch!!

          What was so the bad about the 6 cylinder? Can you explain or point me to a related thread or article? Thank you as always.

          Few years ago, I saw a black one sitting in front of a car garage for about 2 years before it disappeared. . . It was a heart breaking moment for me.

            The PV 6 cyl was a disaster. A V6 that was prone to overheat, melt wires, and go dead at any opportunity, a unique exhaust system, hard to work on, very heavy... You will find a lot under the 700 section.

            Make sure you get one that is at least a 1989 and has a 4 cyl turbo, the same engine as the 740T. And, the front air dam/spoiler has a tendancy to break off when parking close to those concrete blocks, this is a part that is most expensive to buy and paint.

            Oh, the rear side windows tend to rust under the chrome when parked outdoors.
