Right. I recently drove a new Volvo V60 with the D2 diesel in Norway and it was nice -striking design- but didn't necessarily remind me of the old ones. Except the seats...Volvo makes consistently good seats.

Speaking of not needing a car in the city: I was also in Copenhagen and that would be one great city to live car free in. I like cars and driving so living car-free doesn't excite me but if I did live in a more urban area I would want it to have a pervasive bike infrastructure and culture like Copenhagen does.
