style cars from the late 80's early 90's?? that "first used car purchase" thread got me thinking about my first car in highschool. Black used '89 740 GLE. :russ: that car was such a beast.... big body European road hugging excellence. :wow: i loved that old shape that volvo's used to have. unless you drove one you just don't know how awesome these cars were/felt/drove.

this car will always hold a special place in my heart being my first ever. :to:

the current design of volvo's starting in the mid 90's has gone from bad to worse. :scusthov: how they fall off so hard??? :dwillhuh:
somebody @ Volvo needs to take the reigns back... redesign these cars back to the borderline luxury line of progressive cars they were back in the day. pay homage to the old design while "updating" it to fit the 21st century. :wow:

Never had one. The 70's and 80's were the peak years for quality. In the 90's, quality started going down, but styling started going up.
The T5 was the balliest station wagon in the world.

A friend of mine had one of those. The interior and just about everything aesthetically pleasing about it had faded away years ago. But it NEVER stopped running. If he had kept it through college I have no doubt it'd still be running right now.
