wow, talk about a compliment to ford, This looks so much like the GT. So Ferrari cannot create anything better than what FORD created 40+ years ago and improved in the last few versions of the GT. Probably be crazy priced for not that much of a special auto. Torque is pathetic compared to HP.

@ocnblu Found your next car!

I like this very much, clean inside and out yet desirable. The dash is clearly minimalist design. Like the air vents as they remind me of the type I have seen on Cadillac in the past. Two thumbs up for Volvo on this V60!Based on the latest data from 2015 of buying trends based on female versus male registrations of auto's in the US.
I will say that I have also seen that here in Washington where you are seeing a bigger return of people to American Trucks / SUVs over asian or german brands for the husband but the wife stays with their asian / german brand car.- 67 replies

@ccap41 My 5 used auto's would be as follows: 1994 GMC Yukon GT Maroon 1993 GMC Typhoon Garnet Red 1991 GMC Syclone Black 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aero Maroon 1971 Buick Skylark Custom Grand Sport Convertible Optional that I would also take in place of the Buick Skylark would be a 1971 Buick Riviera Grand SportThat CTS-V Sport looks like it has been ridden hard and put away wet. I would be careful as I saw the shattered center screen but also enough wear that who ever was the previous owner is a I do not care, lease, use it, abuse it and trade it back in. Even with the so called cleaning, that auto has considerable wear which makes me think the past lease owner was not only dirty but had high acid in their sweat due to the wear of symbols on dash, steering wheel and shifter. Could be a good deal or it could be a money pit.Today is a totally random day and this is amazing to see how they shipped new cars in the 70's.
RoadRalley Estonia Style, Check out around 2:50 where they use a tractor to remove a broken car. LOL So many russian / European cars.Seems California has introduced Legislation that would make the State stop the sale of ICE auto's in 2040. http://www.thedrive.com/sheetmetal/17359/california-lawmaker-introduces-bill-calling-for-all-electric-car-sales-by-2040Interesting, story on The Drive about 8 auto's that cannot pass over the Brooklyn Bridge due to their 3 ton weight limit. http://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/1720/8-cars-that-legally-cant-cross-the-brooklyn-bridge Seems pretty much every full size truck and SUV plus a couple cars that were surprising.LOL, NJ trucker uses fishing line to pull up license plate to evade paying as he rolls through turnpike payment booth. Police did catch him and demoed the license plate pull up.Your right, I will take a 71-72 over the 73. I do like that rear end.I wish someone in the auto industry would bring back some style like this Riv. Talk about a lovely 1973 Lady!If Daimler knows how to build trucks then why bother with rebadging a Nissan? Clearly they know how to build select types of trucks, not all trucks!- 67 replies

Wiki is very questionable but I would guess about as good as our own gov web site that I posted. Oregon has a very green gov and if you had checked the 2nd link and changed from Washington to Oregon you would find that as of 2016 they have ZERO Coal power production plants. Natural Gas, 1 nuclear plant and 2 petro plants otherwise all wind, Solar, Hydro and BioMass power plants. https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=OR They are very green state. Yes in 3yrs time, you can convert over from dirty greenhouse gas production electric plants to green production plants and the PNW aka Oregon and Washington has made that massive transition. Yes we pay for it as Oregon has a high Income tax, but no sales tax. Washington has no income tax but high Sales Tax. Seems to work for us. Also back in the late 90's both states had voter approved to wind down and replace all nuclear plants by 2020. Both states each have 1 plant that will be decommissioned in 2020 as they retire nuclear totally. I will have to look for it, but all petro / NG plants will be converted over to BioMass power generation plants. The goal was by 2025 or 2030 both states are to be 100% renewable electric production.- 48 replies

But Porsche sold 55,420 in 2017 and 54,280 in 2016 in the US alone. That is 8,313 diesel for 2017 and 8,142 for 2016 in the US only. That is allot of auto's that were sold as Diesel. Found their Global anouncement for 2016: https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/company/porsche-deliveries-2016-sales-record-13310.html They sold a total of 237,778 in 2016 globally. That is 35,667 that were Diesel. That is a large amount of auto's. I hope their hybrids get here sooner rather than later same with the EVs.I work in an office of 1200 teammates and easily a couple dozen and probably more. Remember, Seattle is a High tech growth hub and a very green state as 92% plus of all our power is Green produced. Web Site for state checking of Green energy production Profile of Washington State Power Production web site As the link above will show, our state is very focused on removing fossil fuels from the everyday road and using as much as possible green sustainable power. Washington and Oregon adopted California auto laws and emission standards so both states follow CARB and as such you will find allot of Tree Huggers that want EVs here.
