Stop Me Before I Volvo Again!

My wife, a huge Volvo fan (she's of Swedish descent, I guess that's why), wants to buy a Volvo XC70. I'm not uncorking $38k for a new one which will instantly begin burning out bulbs and delaminating its vinyl interior. So if I have to buy one, it's gonna be a used one for 1/3 that price. Anybody out there who can make me feel better about it? I tried to get her into a TL, brand new, and she doesn't like it, thinks it's plain and ugly and not premium enough.

What can I do?

Divorce your swedish wife since they're blonde and dumb. Get a girl that appreciates and thinks the Acura TL is beautiful. lol j/k

Well, for one thing... WEAR THE PANTS and tell her what to do!

You're telling me that your wife would rather have a used volvo than a brand new TL? Its about time you head to divorce court

Try putting her in a TSX ,..........oh wait, thats not premium enough.

How can she think the TL is plain,.......SHE LIKES VOLVOS.

Ummmmmm, tell her to stop being a brand whore,............not premium enough,.......WTF. Tell her to buy her own car then.

In all seriousness,.....what other cars can you look at (within what you are willing to spend). Have you looked at other options yet? What about a lexus,......new or used?

Ask her what she wants in a car, come to us, and we'll find you something that fits the bill better than a damn Volvo... There isn't anything in a Volvo that loaded Acura doesn't
