Ahhhh, a station wagon !

[Sponge Bob]

I have wanted a Volvo station wagon since my aunt bought an ORANGE one in 1974 AND I FINALLY GOT ONE !!

Saturday my husband blindfolded me drove me around for a while and took me to the local Volvo dealer. He took my blindfold off and told me to pick out a color !! Everything was pre-negotiated and all papers signed.

I am so happy with it. My first question to the salesman was, "do they still make them in orange?"

I'm a little worried about downsizing from a mini-van to a station wagon, but damn it's a nice ride!!

Thanks to all on this board who gave advice and opinions.

I've never in my life been so happy about...a car!!! http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif

On the SCC, its pretty neat huh?  There is a little promo about it at the Volvo Hall and at the Factory during the film.  I really wanted to take a ride up to the concept lab, but I ran out of time- has anyone been up there?  The SCC is definately a working model... there are a lot of pictures of it around Volvo City- that the V30 concept right?

I'd buy one in a heartbeat.  A mini Volvo.  Perfect.

Looks a lot like a P1800 wagon&#33; Anyone have a pix?

I do not think the correlation with the P1800 is a coincidence&#33;

For pictures of the test drive and the interior, head over to Swedespeed. &nbsp;The SCC is in the concept gallery.

They have a P1800 Club in Sweden (http://www.volvop1800club.se) Check the link, You&#39;ll find pictures under &quot;bilder&quot;
