Having owned a long line of RWD Volvos since 1984, culminating in the long term ownership of a 745, I would much rather it was a 965 or V90.

We also own two Saabs; a 9 - 3 convertible, which was a default purchase because we could not find a nice C70; and also a 9000 'Griffin', which replaced my wife's long term ownership 744 when she could not find a nice 964 to do so.

What does that say about us?

Like me, Saab and Volvo have been my motoring favourites over years. I had a GM900 and a 9000 and liked neither as much as old classic Saabs. Times change though, and I'm driving a Saab again.

I’m 50 and have had my first Volvo, a My17 XC-60 for just under a week. Loving it.
