Cool cars for your Gevalia run
Forbes: The Fastest Cars Under $50K Forbes.com recently published an article about fun/FAST cars under $50k. The 2013 Volvo S60 R-Design isn’t the very fastest, but at 5.3 seconds 0-60, as far as daily drivers go, my bet is we’re the most stylish and comfortable. And I believe the safest.

However, I do agree with their latest Volvo design analysis of the [...]
S60 – #2 out of 6
We’ll take that any day. USA Today and Motor Week Television (PBS) joined forces to pick apart six sport sedans with max cap pricing of 46k. In short, here is what they had to say about our Herring Hauler from Valhalla: What we liked: Comfort and ride. “By far, the most comfortable car here,” Robinson [...]
