Although, the RS6 interior is meh. I'd use it to wipe off after having my way with the E63, C63 and CTSV.

It is a great looking wagon though.

Geely is saying they are not far from selling Volvos here made in China. A Chinese car here is inevitable, I guess. However, I cannot see myself owning one until they prove to me they will follow standards and not cut corners on something that will get me killed.

Yeah, call me carcist...but, for now, there is no way I'm coming close to a Chinese-made car.

Then again, a few years ago, I said that about Korean electronics and cars and now, they are household names. So, who knows.


Still, I think I'll probably always maintain a German and Japanese bias for cars.

And of course, Italian and British (i.e. Aston Martin) too. But, hey...I can't afford the Italian and British cars I want.

Hyundai's problem now is their dealers are mostly dirtbags from years of selling cars to poorer people. There isn't one around me that I would deal with. Yet, at least. Same with Kia. The K900 looks nice but $66K and I have to deal with riffraff? No thanks.

Will the Volvos be designed and developed in China? Or only manufactured?

I don't think I'd mind a Chinese-manufactured economy car. It's the products designed (or rather, copied) that I think most people take issue with.

They are saying built. Which is my issue.

It's only functional if it's used to its full potential. Looks like a serious machine.

Sure, the Ferrari on the right is nice too.

I could have rode in any of them, I was too busy driving my GT-R which was among the fastest out there. Both the UGR TT Lambos were on pump gas. I will get a ride in the white SL sooner or later. This is me in my GT-R.
