Owning one for less than a year, and doing nothing but waxing it, and staring at it is different than actually relying on it as a sole vehicle, and daily driver year round. ---

> [@LZ](#): > > This is no different then the hate you and others post in every domestic thread lol I think it’s a lot different. You love to reference my “domestic hate,” but I think it’s stronger in your mind than what’s real. But that’s ok, doesn’t seem like you get it…I guess what’s sad to me is that, while maybe some people on here have worked on Volvo/Saab cars and have an educated view on them, a lot (most) probably haven’t, and have no fucking clue what they’re saying. It’s a popularity contest, like everything around here, and whatever the masses say, a lot of people just follow along with… Either way, I hope this car makes it to production. It’s cool, interesting, and would for sure be pretty rare… ---

Estimates put a sticker of 100,000 British pounds (roughly $155,000) on each copy, which explains why production volume will be kept to a minimum. While the car is certainly unique, demand for a six-figure Volvo sport sedan isn’t exactly high.
