Hey guys. I thought I'd let you all know that I'm not interested in the Crossfire that much any longer. I owed you all that much.

I've always liked Volvo's style and ethic, and with their new S40 T5 coming in at the bottom of my price range and featuring everything I'm wanting it looks like that may be the next car.

Thanks for all the fun times and great info.

Check out the Volvo at http://www.allnews40.com

Quarter mile in 15.0 according to Road & Track.

 

a 4 door Volvo... you can be in the next Trick Daddy song lol j/k James!

I really enjoyed the look of this car! More styling then the BMW's of its shape... and I really think Volvo makes a great car! on top of that... a 5banger?!!?? I'm ignorant about cars some times... but I've never heard of this idea... im sure there is a good reason for it! and that means its cool IMO

It's too bad though James... no matter how much I hate you ... I think you would have liked the Xfire! Did you ever get to test drive it?

 

Darn I missed being smarter than one person here. J/k James.

 

There goes my grant money for sure.......

Whatever you end up with, enjoy your new car James!


:lol:

 

Darn .... and there goes my "Assistant to jsisabella on a tropical island" job!! :wink:

 

Save up a little more money, and wait for the S40R. THAT is a hot car.

 

:shock: :shock: :shock: YOU'RE ALIVE!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

 

Volvo likes the Inline 5 Cylinder because it's safer than a V oriented arrangement. Smaller, more crinckle room and it won't ram into the compartment. Atleast I believe that is their reasoning.

Yes, I did get to the testdrive the Crossfire. It was fun. But I've lost the love for the exterior design and am wanting something a little more traditional but angular at the same time.

I found the S40 T5 and it struck me as fun but practical.

MightyJLR, I don't think the S40R will be released within the next 5 years. Volvo just put out their S60R, there's not much room in their catalogue to add the S40R right away. Maybe by the time I'm ready to go to the dealership with my checkbook in hand, then it might be out. But I'll probably still stick with just the T5. Speed isn't everything, I don't need much of it.

 

It looks like the old Vauxhall (Opel) Vectra from the back, YUCK!!

All you need now is a dog guard and a dog in the boot. ;-)

 

Thanks for the info on the 5 banger! I just never heard of it before! I think the car looks great! and since I live in GM country up here near Flint anything thats not GM is something new and beautiful IMO!! :lol:

 

GM has an I5 available in the new Chevy Colorado pickup.

 

What strange days we live in... lol

I never wanta state "my car fires on all 5 cylinders..." cuz I know my friends... they would say something to the fact... "Was the last one just that much more?" ... But have fun out there James! I send us a post card with your new car on it! ...
