What a great opportunity. You can buy this amazing Volvo 740 with only 65,000 miles. That is right, 65,000 miles on a 23 year old car. How is that possible you ask? It really is the age old story of the little old lady that drove it to church and the grocery store. That little old lady just happened to be my grandmother. She purchased this car new in 1991 from Keystone Volvo in Doylestown. That was a glorious day for me, because it meant I got her 1983 Volvo 760.

Anyway, when she was 81, she decided she should stop driving, so I purchased this 1991 from her. I purchased it in 2008, at that time it had 38,000 miles, so I am responsible for almost half of the miles on this car.

So what can I tell you about the Volvo 740/who is this car good for?:

1. Do you hate washing cars? If so, this car is for you! It looks the same when it is clean or dirty. It is the perfect color that hides dirt!

2. Have you had a lot of speeding tickets, and need to take it easy? This car is for you. I am not sure what the zero to 60 speed is, but you most likely will have reached your destination before you hit 60. Actually, that is not entirely true. On the highway, this will cruise all day at 75mph.

3. Are you looking for a first car for your teenager? If you are a parent of a teenager, THIS is the perfect car. First, because of how slow it is, second, while the back seat is huge, the car is so ugly, no other person will want to get in the back for shenanigans. Trust me, I know, remember I got my grandmothers previous 760 when I was in high school, and trust me, that back seat saw zero action.

4. Do you like very basic maintenance, and a car that has cheap very easily found parts? This car is for you. Volvo made this exact same car for 10 years, and they made a zillion of them, everything is super easy to find and super easy to fix.

5. Do you think computers and LCD displays are dumb. Do your car had less that 20 buttons/switches/dials. Well, this car is for you.

6. Do you like heat? This car has it! I swear, when I get in this car, I am pretty sure I must be in either the Sahara, or Hell. This thing gets HOT. And it has heated seats. What can be better than that? Well, what could be better is if both of them worked, but currently only the driver's side works. It needs a new heated seat relay.

7. Does Air Conditioning make you angry? Good. It doesn't work in this car. Here's the deal. The compressor runs, I have replaced the evaporator, and converted it to 134a. There is a leak in one of the o-ring gaskets. If you fill it with refrigerant, it will work for a few days until it leaks out. Every year, I said I was going to fix it, but never did. You know why! (see number 8).

8. This baby has a sunroof! And no switches or electronics to break. This thing works on a crank. It gives you a sweet upper body work out. Work on your core, as you are taking in some sun!

9. Did I mention this car has power windows. Well, it does. Some would say, there is a slight issue with drivers side window. Sometimes it has a little issue going up, or down. I like this feature. You know why? A little thump with your fist and it starts working again. Just like Fonzie playing the juke box. Who doesn't want to feel like Fonzie?

10. This car has great leather seats, and is super comfortable. It is honestly like driving a living room around.

11. This car is an automatic with OVERDRIVE. Overdrive just makes it more fuel efficient when you are cruising on the highway. It doe not have MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, so it will NOT come to life and try to kill you.

12. You live in PA, and you hate getting cars inspected? GREAT! This one just passed two weeks ago. You be able to drive for almost a year, without the state of PA judging your car.

13. Do you have an odd fetish, and you like things that are sagging? This car is right up your alley! This headliner has a massive sag. AND, if you like things that are sagging, dirty and has some holes and staples in, this really is your dream car. In trying to fix the sag (sorry, just not a fetish of mine, although I am not judging), I used some adhesive and staples. Neither of these solutions worked, and really just made it worse.

14. Do you want to feel like Marty McFly from Back to the Future? Here is your chance. You know why? Although this car is 23 years old. It has iPod integration, and Bluetooth handsfree calling. That is just crazy! That is like turning a scooter into a skateboard in the 1950s.

15. Do you like bodies that have some marks of definition. Well, good. This car is 23 years old, and has a handful of dings and scratches. Nothing horrible, but if you are looking to show this at Pebble Beach, you will have some work to do.

16. Do you sometimes need to carry large amounts of goods, or dead/living bodies? This trunk can do it. Remember, I owned one of these when I was 17, and was able to fit 3 people in the trunk. Trust me, they deserved it.

17. Are you horrible with coming up with a name for your car? Good. This car already has a name. Classy Lady. You can tell that is her name since it says so on stickers on her small back windows. The stickers match the paint perfectly, so you will not need to wash these either. If you have a name for her, that is fine, the stickers can be easily removed.

18. Do you know someone that really needs their face remodeled? I may have your answer, depending on how serious you are. You see, this car has an airbag. That's right, just one. And it is for the driver. That means if you happen to hit a wall, you should be fine, but your passenger will have a face full of 1990s plastic.

Ex-Volvo boss Stefan Jacoby to head GM's international operations

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

He was too talented not to surface somewhere, we just didn't know where and when. Nine months ago, Stefan Jacoby stepped down from his post as Volvo CEO, a move that caught many off guard. At the time, the separation was called "amicable," but word is that the strong-willed executive clashed with owners Geely and the automaker's board.
Jacoby will have a new set of challenges on his hands, as he has just been named Executive Vice President Consolidated International Operations for General Motors. That means the Hannover-born Jacoby will head up the company's operations in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East, where he will be responsible for over 100 countries and territories. Jacoby succeeds Tim Lee, who has been named chairman of GM China. Lee will also retain his post as Executive Vice President Global Manufacturing.
Jacoby's dealings with Geely should help him in his Asian market duties, but he also counts time as the head of Volkswagen of China on his resume, so he's very well-versed in the market's peculiarities.

Defying Trump, major automakers finalize California emissions deal

Tue, Aug 18 2020

WASHINGTON — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration's push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution. The agreements withÂ carmakers Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe into the agreements. The government ended the investigation without action. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. That is far weaker than the 5% annual increases in the discarded rules adopted under President Barack Obama. The 50-page California agreements, which extend through 2026, are less onerous than the standards finalized by the Obama administration but tougher than the Trump administration standards. The automakers have also agreed to electric vehicle commitments. VolvoÂ Cars, owned by China's Geely Holdings, said in March it planned to join the automakers agreeing to the California requirements. It has also finalized its agreement. The settlement agreements say California and automakers agreed to resolve "potential legal disputes concerning the authority ofÂ CARB" and other states that have adopted California's standards. In May, a group of 23 U.S. states led by California and some major cities, challenged the Trump vehicle emissions rule. Other major automakers like General Motors Co, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Toyota Motor Corp did not join the California agreement. Those companies also sided with the Trump administration in a separate lawsuit over whether the federal government can strip California of the right to set zero emission vehicle requirements. Ford said the "final agreement will reduce emissions in our vehicles at a more stringent rate, support and incentivize the production of electrified products, and create regulatory certainty." BMW said "by setting these long-term, predictable, and achievable standards, we have the regulatory certainty that is necessary for long-term planning that will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but ultimately benefit consumers as well."Â

Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023

Mon, Sep 12 2022

Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees andÂ Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVsÂ like theÂ Tesla Model XÂ and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like theÂ BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in.Â But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below.Â Best Subcompact Luxury SUVÂ Â |Â Â Best Compact Luxury SUVÂ Â |Â Â Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row)Â Â |Â Â Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row)Â Â |Â Â Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row)Â Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out:Â Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better:Â Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded,Â non-luxuryÂ compactÂ SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB.Â Â Â Volvo XC40 Why it stands out:Â More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better:Â Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.
