Its gone, its gone :(

A fully upgraded silver S70 GLT with the right rims was truly one of
the most aesthetic car in its class.  Even 6 yrs on after it stopped
production, it looked better than most other 'new' cars out there.
What a beauty.

It was somewhat underpowered with its 195 horsepower (compared to the
250hp Accura TLs of today) but its turbo charged engine always
delivered that boost when needed.  It has excellent road feel not like
cars today where you step on the gas and don't know if you are doing 20
or 80.  It sat low... lower than most cars and that made it easy to
climb in and out.  Most of all the seats were comfortable... very
comfortable.  It was like sitting in a cockpit and flying a plane.  I
liked to sllooowly cruise to a stop and let the by-standers just drool
at the power, good looks and weight of the car.

It wasn't a pretentious brand the Volvo.  It stuck to its core which
was 'safety' and injected style.  Not like other brands of cars which
try to be everything and end up being nothing or lost in the pack.  I
strongly object to volvo making its cars look more and more 'egg'
shaped like so many Japanese cars.  Keep the boxy look - that's the
car's signature!  That's what makes heads turn.

I'm sad to see it go.  Real sad.  Truly the best car of my life.

I also liked Volvo's advertisement where survivors of car crashes say
".. one car saved my life"...one after another... and it ends off with
...."and that car was a Volvo".. followed by the words "Volvo for
life".  That was just too cool and made me proud to own a Volvo.
