Phil,

for argument's sake...why don't they [Consumer Reports] mention the fact that although a 1999 S80 did not score well in their card, a 2000 model while scoring 100% better and receiving the infamous "check" mark on the bottom, that is not mentioned in their overall review of the car. That's what pisses me off with C.R. Anyway, how much more of winter are we going to have? Not that we have really suffered, this year!

I thought it was humorous that they actually expected Volvo to replace her motor out of warranty! [S70][1999]

        4 weeks, 4 days of winter left since I saw my shadow on 2/2/02! I'm waiting to put on my snow tires & paging through the Burpee Catalog! Strange winter. NMI [V70-XC70][1998]
