I forgot how many they are out there. I hope your not in the Internet cafe? I walked in there and it was like a scene from the lawn mower man.

I personally think the 780 is one of the ugliest cars Volvo have ever made, it's proportions don't look right.

I personally like them, but I love a bit of old skool. They were designed by Bertone, if memory serves. The interiors are awsome also!
