EVERYONE that voted on my poll needs to resubmit their vote because I updated and refined the list with ONLY wagons and no awd. My dog and I both enjoy the openness of the wagon. Also I am not down for the removal of the driveshaft or repairs of the awd system.

Good choice- wagons forever. Sedans just don't have the style.

Let’s not tell him you are out of town at the moment.

Lol. All I can say is that I am weird. Actually where I live, I'm considered weird for liking Volvo. Lol. My brother will (or now did) RELUCTANTLY accept a ride only when I was the only means of him getting to work. He didnt want to be seen in my car. XD My family is the typical middle class that buys new middle class vehicles. Typical unreliable Dodges (Fiat/Chrysler) and horrible Nissan trans. Not these old cars that most consider ugly. My parents thought my 01 v70 was nice but my XC and 960 were ugly lol. My brother called my 01 v70 a hearse XD I mean I suppose it could a small bit.

I think the p2 s80 (the last car Volvo made before selling to Ford) is the only sedan that looks super stylish to me besides the Amazon 122 sedan.
The p80 sedans and s60 are more sleepers with it's respective performance engines and less stylish.
Way more stylish wagons than sedans.
