      I say to let the market decide. Stop subsidizing gasoline costs and people might be more discretionary, but I don’t think they should be banned outright. There’s plenty of utility in a sports utility vehicle.

      Get a P2 V70.

      I have one, it is old, but gold. Like, the paint color is gold. It doesn’t run very well. It’s handsome though.

        If you can get your hands on one. A V70R is my dream car behind a 240 Torslanda, but both now seem to be in the “scalped by 21 year olds” category. A XC70 is only slightly different and much more available

          Would love one, but they’re usually beat to hell and back.

          I also would not mind finding a P3 XC70 T6 and putting the suspension from a V70 in it. Make a P3 faux v70r. Get a licence plate that says FAKE R

            Haha, that’s awesome. By coincidence, I was looking at a P3 XC70 last fall when I was car shopping, but it was too beat up for me.

            Ended up getting a Buick Regal TourX. I love my wagons.
