When was the last time you saw a Volvo 164 on the street? For me, it was this one, last December. So what are the odds that two of them would turn up at a local self-service wrecking yard, within sight of each other. Even after several weeks on the yard, they’re pretty much complete- [...]

When was the last time you saw a Volvo 164 on the street? For me, it was this one , last December. So what are the odds that two of them would turn up at a local self-service wrecking yard, within sight of each other. Even after several weeks on the yard, they're pretty much complete- looks like 164 parts aren't in demand.

Swedish. Safety. Soccer moms. Station wagons. But racing?

Riding in one of our interns' summer daily driver sans-A/C yesterday — a Volvo 142 — one of us kind of laughed a little when he started thinking whether we could stick an air conditioner unit between the braces of his roll cage. Then we found this. And we haven't stopped laughing for twenty minutes. Sure, we've seen air conditioning units strapped down on top of wrecks before, but seriously how ingenious...

Although the Volvo C30 is a competent and stylish hatchback, it has often been criticized for its uninspiring performance. Volvo added the R-design package (pictured) to give the C30 some added show, but never addressed the engine compartment for a little more go. However, that could change as Volvo has created a 350 [...]

Volvo gave its C30 hatchback a pretty aggressive look when it introduced the R-Design package, but unfortunately none of that sportiness made its way beneath the hood.

Volvo S80 £20,304 Miles per gallon: 49.6 Seats: 5 Good for: born agains Bad for: porn barons There are many thoughts that could flit across the mind of the owner of a forecourt-fresh motor: the smell of the leather, the glint of the polished bonnet, the lure of the long road ahead, the carpets still free of fromage frais and breadsticks. But few will be thinking of the disposal of their new car at...

The other day I caught a glimpse of a dark blue Volvo Amazon parked just down the street from the '42 Pontiac Torpedo . I didn't have time to photograph it, but since we've had only one Amazon so far in this series, I made a mental note to get back and shoot this rare Swedish gem as soon as I could.
