    Cool site

    I am a huge lover of wagons. When I was 6, family went out west for 6 weeks, this is when it started. I have had a 1976 Caprice Estate, and a 1996 Honda Accord EX Wagon I got rid of a couple months ago :( Would like to replace our 2nd car with another wagon. I live an hour and half north of Chicago in the NW Subs. Moved to chicaogo 10 years ago from the detroit area. Go to go, just wanted to introduce myself

    Thank you for your condolence senri

    Hey does anybody know anything about the Volvo V70 R Wagon?

    I believe it is an on demand fwd. What about on take off, do the rear wheels kick in?

    How is the 0-60 times :evilsmile:, how is the gas milage?

    Right now gas is around $4.15 a gallon, mpg is and issue

    These are some official figures:
    2004 - 2008 Volvo V70R
    Manual
    300hp
    0-60 5.9s
    21 mpg (combined)
    1650kg

    Expensive car though; 75,000 euro!!

    But if you are looking for a nice four wheel drive, take a look at this:



    And I swear, I only seen this AFTER I bought mine....

    Welcome to the wagon patch there, Purple. Lots of guys here have Volvo wagons, even our wagonmaster. He'll chime in eventually. :Welcome:
