I absolutely want that Brabus van.

Volvos are excellent at impact survival; they no longer use them for monster truck shows because of this. Newer ones are less ugly, too.

#1 gawd I miss my Volvo, that thing was a tank!

Volvo for the win.

My first car was a 1971 Volvo 164, my second was a VW Wolfsburg Rabbit. Miss both dramatically.

I drive a GTR. and by that, I mean I bought a knockoff GTR badge for $10 on ebay, removed the Sentra badge, and pretend I pass quicker while

Subaru - They survived. One of the best ads ever made.

I was going to upvote but it was at 911 and I couldn't ruin that

14x6 being too big, even the cheapest shitboxes come with bigger wheels.
FairweatherHobbyist
well that's why the volvo didn't get crushed you used an off brand monster truck. "bear foot"

So many STDs and teenage pregnancies made in boxy Volvos though.

My dream car is a Volvo. I find safety very attractive.

I looked at a 633CSI a couple years back, and the guy wanted $7000 more than than it was worth. Listed at $7500.
chefsoda
Funny story, that Volvo ad got the agency fired. They added support to the roof pillars to make the difference more striking & Volvo
AngryMoonStar
That's true. The ad was straight up misleading.
chefsoda
supposedly didn't find out until the ad was running. It was pulled, people got fired, & apologies were published. Still some impressive cars
Gingerwithsomesoul
Wasn't it the one where they drive it off into a quarry.
mrsquids10
I believe it showed about 6 cars stacked vertically on top of the Volvo.
chefsoda
Hmm, my recollection was that it was exactly this one, but it was a long, long time ago & now I have to go looking for it...

It was. https://www.campaignlive.com/article/history-advertising-no-154-volvos-bear-foot-monster-truck/1372089

Lol these days most young people are probably dreaming of a Kia. I'm dreaming of a Subaru.

I have a subaru. Love it but as a teenager I dreamed of a Nissan 300zx and someone who had one said they dreamed of another car...life

Nothing's too crass when the ad is fake. Which this is.

That's Jaguar. "For men who want handjobs from women they hardly know."

Honestly? They have a point. As long as either the lady or the AM was well-taken care of and the split was civil, it doesn't matter (cont'd)

Datsun 280ZX Turbo for me

I would much rather have a GT-R. So many Porsche just look the same and the ones thst don't tend to be ugly.

I spent my youth lusting for a Skyline GTR. I now own one

Mitsubishi GTO for me. Shame they were barely imported to the UK

Nissan 300ZX for me, that ad is way off.

Yeah I was gonna say, what's wrong with dreaming of owning a skyline?

I spend probably too much time, even in my 30s, dreaming of owning a mine’s R34.

I own an R32 GTR. It's everything I dreamt of and more
Ludwigofthepotatoppl
Pff. 3000 GT? I learned to drive in a mitsubishi L300. Talk about tight turning!

I agree on this, that Porsche ad didn't age well.

Black exterior, black interior, and be damned how hot it would get in the summer

Nissan 300Z here. Their argument is null. :)
ATerribleArtist
AWD. Turbo-charged. And the ones with 4 wheel steering? Fucking amazing. For me it was a 300zx though
AMadManWithABoxWIthoutABox
Same. I wanted a red VR4.

I wanted a Nissan R34 GT-R Skyline, i got mine 12 years ago. Never ever stop dreaming! 2 year ago i got me a Evo Ix wagon.

Loved Evos in Gran Turismo, ended up owning 8 of them (not all at once). I'm a boring Evoless father now.

There's probably a joke about needing 8 for spare parts in there somewhere..

Dude get a evo wagon! The E9 Wagon is perfect family car

They don't have them here in the states sadly. I'd love one.

Good news! The Evo is now a boring family car!

I'd love to get my hands on a 9, but their commanding stupid money in this new market.
NZSheeps
I wanted a DeLorean (still do)
PballQhead
I still dream about a black VR4. But a Porsche might well be cheaper nowadays.
Mechwarrior719
Hilariously enough a 90s Porsche would probably be easier to maintain. Love the 3000GT but I’ve heard they can be maintenance divas.
gnochi
90s Porsche would be an improvement >.> I spent $5000/yr in emergency maintenance on a 2003 996 - and I *didn’t* have IMSB issues.
lamerfreak
997.1 here. 1 year, 10k, no additional issues to speak of. Well, besides the alternator cable I have to do, and paint issues, and...
lamerfreak
My grail would be a 964, but, those are unattainable, now.
AnUnknownErrorOccurred
I always wanted to do a RWD swap and SEVERE weight reduction on a 3000 GT. I feel like it never met its potential.
1metalnation
So you want to drop the AWD and the AWD steering and the active aero? Missing out on all the fun of a VR4
AnUnknownErrorOccurred
Kinda, yeah. It's just sooo heavy.
1metalnation
I mean... 3700lbs isn't that heavy. It's 300lbs more than a c7 corvette. That's only like 1 fat guy heavier. The motors hold some power and
1metalnation
the platform is SUPER nimble in the curves. It's not quite as nimble as a skyline GTR, but few things are.

I love my volvo. My old one lost the battle in a wildlife collision on the highway, and I came out with only a bruise. The safety is no joke
BeastyBill88
My stepdad has always been a Volvo man he got me into Volvo aswell, had my gen 1 S60 for 3 years, it's built like a tank wouldn't change it!
hadtochangemyusernamecauseIgotdivorced
Went with SAAB for years. Once they went bust, Volvo was the obvious next choice. Great little hatchback.

Can we have a moment of silence for my dad's Volvo 940 that was scrapped last week, it lost the battle to rust
mymidlifecrisiswasat23
Can confirm. First car I ever drove as a reckless new driver teenager, was a 240 DL. Head on into a parked car over 35 mph
mymidlifecrisiswasat23
Walked away with shock but not a bruise. My DL was totaled but the other car looked like it was hit by a cement truck
karateninjazombie
Volvo's are just bricks. They are safe because they smash the other car. Not because they are safe by modern standards
ralphmelish
Have you ever sat in a post 2010 Volvo? Volvo (even fueled by Chinese money) DEFINES the modern standards.

V40 was the first car to have an airbag for pedestrians.

You make good points. I am on about the older flying brisk style Volvo's of the 70s 80 and early 90s. They got better. As time went on 1/2

Like all things and modern ones are the stallions medallions.

I also really like my V60, the D5 is a beast and I got partial R-Design done, still would like the other front, not worth it after 10 years
