Hello Fabio,

KW>> I had a 2001 V70 wagon, the plain old model - and loved it. I
KW>> still want to get a 2004 XC70 if I can find a well-maintained one
KW>> - that was the last purely Volvo (designed and built by Volvo) if
KW>> memory serves. I think the next year was the year they came out
KW>> with that Ford Taurus world platform.

FB> The V70 wagon was a great car!!! I loved and still love it! :)
FB> XC is a SUV and it's also too modern for me, I don't like SUV and modern
FB> cars. ;)

Me neither.
My current car is a VW Lupo 3L 1.2 TDI from 1999, so almost 20 years old,
and still going strong after 450.000 km.
I started in 1978 with a VW 1300 Type 1 build in 1967, it had only 6 Volts
and a mechanical petrol tank meter. The washer system was powerd by pressed
air, the best system I have ever seen, no electricity needed to wash the
windscreen, and you could very the height and water amount with your finger.
When you filled it again, you pump it up with pressed air from a footpump or
the one from the gas station with or without filling the petrol tank,
and/or the tires with air, very simple I think.
My later cars were a Citroen GS, Suzuki Alto, Suzuki Samurai
and now the VW Lupo 3L 1.2 TDI. I liked that 7 year 4x4WD Samurai period.
I am not sure what will be the next one, but I am still looking around for
a small car with at least has the radius of about 400 km or greater to
travel to Mortsel.be and back from Arnhem.nl
Now I can drive for at least 1100 km's before filling my tank is necessarry
with again 40 Liter diesel. My record was 1650 km at one filling when driving
at the special tyres (Bridgestone B381 Ecopia) wich I can't get anymore ;-(.
That trip was to Wolfsburg.de, of course at only 90 km/h. ;-).

In my city Arnhem.nl a H2 filling station is build this year 2019.
So I am looking forward for a car driving at H2, because CNG, LPG, Diesel,
Petrol shall all be gone after 2030, because that are fossil fuels.
There are not enough production goods to produce electric accumulators,
besides the too small grid capacity to fill all the electric cars there are
coming. So I think green H2 produced by sunpanels and/or windturbines shall
be the answer for our mass mobility in future.

Automotive greetings from Henri.
