Talking about old and new Volvos, I was a bit miffed in Tescos the other day when I heard a staff member say about my 940 'That funny old car of hers makes me laugh'. I still think a 940 looks great from the front and side, not dated imo. Back lights date the rear a bit I think, even with my rear spoiler with high viz brake light my car looks dated from the back I think.
I kind of like the standing out of the crowd, oddball appearance of my 940. A sort of statement that I am no follower of the latest fashion in vehicle marketing. A 940 may look somewhat dated, but I like it.
I secretly enjoy casually dropping the mileage of my 940 when people are boosting about how many miles their modern car has already done. Usually double the amount, effectively silencing remarks like a funny old car that makes one laugh!
