The goldish colored car at IPD's site on the banner. That's one nice looking 850 or v70.

About a year ago I saw a Saffron S70R parked out in front of a bar down the road. I don't think it had a straight body panel on it but it was still beautiful.

LOL, when I was looking for a yellow T-5R wagon I seen one for sale in NJ. If I was ready I would have pulled the trigger on it. I thought it was a '99. It would be awsome to own a V70R Saffron, 1998 with a manual. "I do dream sometimes".

Too bad Volvo only ever put automatics in their "performance" cars.
They finally got the right idea around 2004, but even then, the manuals were very rare.
I honestly don't like the Saffron color very much. The Volvo bright red is the best color in my book. The S70, new S60, and old 850R's look amazing in that color.
Oh, and only Saab's should be yellow. And Camaros.

Come over here. If you want automatic you have to ask for it. The majority of our drivers wouldn't know how to drive an auto box.Too bad Volvo only ever put automatics in their "performance" cars.
