That is quite possibly the most retarded thing i have ever seen, and by far the ugliest thing to come out of Sweden in a long time.

are you kidding? i think it's GODDAMN FUCKING SWEET! i love the color, love the interior, and workmanship, the clean lines. i love it!

No. The interior? It has a present-day Volvo dash, steering wheel, and (automatic) shifter. The steering wheel is hideous to begin with and doesn't fit in a "retro" hot-rod at all. Yes it has clean lines and thats kind of a cool color, but overall that thing is pretty dumb looking imo.

edit: the shifter is so far back it looks like your arm would cramp up trying to reach back to shift. Either that or its built for Swedish contortionists.

I'm with Diesel, it's pretty slick. Any hi-res yet?

From the perspective as a Volvo, this car is awesome. As a hotrod, it's really boring looking and generally weaksauce.

That is sweet. Hi-res or ban. You choose!

Eh, I'm borderline about this car. The exterior and interior are ugly and remind me of the Prowler. But, the performance makes up for it.

It looks like crap , but I like the craftmanship .

That is really cool! Aside from the slushbox, I love it. I would give it the Volvo line through the grill though. Wow that is cool!

Its a Caresto though, not a Volvo. It just has a Volvo V8 and hideous present-day Volvo bits in the interior.

I want that black 122 wagon...

not really a fan of hotrods, but that interior is fucking nice. i wanna see that black wagon in the back.

Man, i really hope youre being sarcastic about the interior

omg awesomez0rs. But didn't this car used to have a T6?

What's wrong with it? I like it too.

I think it suits the car beautifully, even though it's not really my personal taste.

Me likey. I love the way that the roof fits the body at the back. The wheels could use a little more taste, though.




Oh, you mean this one?

agreed.....that is one hot volvo (the wagon)

If you keep sucking like this you're going to form a black hole and suck all known matter into you.

Gorgeous!

if you don't cheer the fuck up soon and stop being so negative, you're gonna shoot yourself.

That's what we're all hoping for!

well aside from the ass-ugly color and rims, and interior color this car's nice.

that 122 wagon is 2913847 times cooler though.


edit: actually, i think i like the interior.

Not a fan of hotrods, but the rear is really nice imo. Interior isn't that great though and the gear stick looks very very far back.

According to TG, there's plans to sell at least six of these, and they've already sold the second prototype.
