    I was driving down to Watkins Glen with a friend following in his Mustang so his track day could get preempted by a Porsche club in person and when we got there he asked if the XC40 I was in was electric. Volvo didn't make tailpipe cutouts and if it were EV the only difference in appearance
    was they put an insert in the grill instead of a grill.

    Yes they took a complete U-Turn after the i8 and i3 (except for the motorbikes).

    Volvo’s approach makes sense to me. If you like their ICE look, you’ll like their EV look. Why make loyal customers give up a car they like to look at?

    Most wheels are these days. I usually like a dished wheel better than a flush wheel cover, Lancia Delta Integrales excepted.

    Every company struggles to leave well enough alone when they have a good thing going.

    I am not much into SUV but it is rare to see the original Vitara in such a good shape nowadays.

    For a moment I thought you shared an old school canteen truck and I was 10 years old again. At the shop with Dad, getting my egg salad sammich and chocolate milk from the lunch truck with the other hard workin’ men.
