 For a couple of years ago I hated the Volvo cars design, but nowadays they are my favorite.
 The design has been very improved, volvo are kind of... Spambot maybe is the right word  ;)
 Me and my family also have the V70  D5, I think the colour of it is seashell metallic or somethig like that :)
- 
				I think I've just discovered why Americas carbon emissions are so high... STOP think of the poor dying polar bears.
 
 BTW do you know where Volvos have been designed for the past ten years? I'll give you a clue- it isn't where you think.

 Diesel is more expensive than petrol over in Northern Ireland   :thumbdown:
 Presently its about £1.15 a litre for diesel and £1.08 for petrol  :-\
 
 The only saving grace is that diesel lasts longer in your car than petrol  :doh:
