Not sure if you can call it an exotic :roll: but the odoreading on the Volvo 480 Turbo which I own and drive is: 177,771 miles :shock:
If you ask yourself what the heck is a Volvo 480: :idea: just click on the www button at the bottom of this message.

Cornering at max speed is a total different ballgame :roll:

VOlVO has been turbo charging stuff forever well at least the last 20 years. You have never seen a 740 turbo or a 760 turbo? Actuall i cant think of a Volvo that has come out from the 80's or 90's that was not offered with a turbo option.

If I was to buy another vehicle, it will probably be a Volvo or a Scooby. I drive by the local Volvo dealership and look at the V70 R wagons..(drool)

We owe 3-point seat belts to Volvo, so stop dissing them! Volvo has brought lots of safety elemtents into the car world, so, please respect them. They might not be the fastest of cars (or even close to that) but in their class, they rock! They are safe and very durable cars! I respect Volvo for that!
