Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I don't get coal-bin interiors generally, but particularly for Volvos, when the blonde interiors are gorgeous. We went looking for an S60 Recharge last weekend, and were told they wouldn't get any more with blonde interiors _this year_. Black leather is way, way too hot in the summer and doesn't even look that nice.

Almost the same story with Audis: 8 A5 Sportbacks, 6 black interiors.

  Just a hunch but years back everything about Volvo was focused toward the local expected climate so this mentality may not have changed. In Sweden/Northern Europe black leather may be more popular and leather being too hot in the summer isn't an real issue there.

39k for a 3 year old T5 with disclosed "cosmetic damage"? As a new'23 V60 B5 AWD Hybrid starts at 50k, 11k in depreciation is nowhere near reasonable. That's a hard pass for me.

Wolfwagen Am I the only one who thinks that this car should be saved and resto-moded with an early 2000's VTEC? Perhaps go a little crazy and swap in the power train from an S2000?
Ger65690267 Well, the TFL guys who have a Cybertruck with even more miles have noted their tires still look fine. They drive all sorts of terrain and situations, and they haven't seen the wear, which means that guy is running his truck probably rather hard more than he cares to admit.
SCE to AUX "EVs tend to chew through tires in a way that surprises many new owners". That hasn't been my experience. My EV has 210 ft-lbs of torque on 16-inch tires, 3100 lbs curb weight. Tire life has been just like a gas car, which varies according to driving habits. So I agree with the "big surprise" headline.
1995 SC Led me down a rabbit hole to see what the OEM tires were. I was curious if they were using some sort of ultra high. performance summer tire (didn't seem to be). However it does look like you need that specific sidewall design or part of the wheel cover won't fit. Not a "feature" I'd want.
Cprescott I used to love spy shots when cars changed so often. No point now in even paying attention to them since cars barely exist and the lard butt CUV/SUV's clog up our roads
