"The new Volvo XC60 is stepping boldly into what is currently the automotive world's fastest-growing segment - dressed in a thrilling blend of muscular XC capability and the sporty charisma of a coupe."

... and then I immediately stopped.

Volvo stepping boldly? give me a break....

fastest-growing segment? who cares?

sporty charisma of a coupe? Yes, i think i'll go over to the Corvette display. I can no longer stand this marketing rubbish. Automakers, call a wagon a wagon and show us how your model is unique. Otherwise, stop wasting my time.

my favorite car is a motorcycle

Come ON, carmakers, put up or shut up.

I don't see where they stuck their "chin" out.
And this "city safety"--will the accelerator be over-ruled by the auto-brake? How am I going to get up to ramming speed?

Just call it a station wagon with AWD. Is that so wrong?

Here's a "retro" concept for ya- straight six (that doesn't need to be fooled into running by a friggin computer) RWD 2-door hardtop (with a real trunk) on which the owner (not the dealer) can repair or replace every component with 2 wrenches, pliers, and a flathead screwdriver.

What's that shit? Looks like a stationwagon to me.

Who knew that the AMC Eagle was 30 years ahead of the times....

Cars today already have enough things that could go wrong.
