You should take something like an MDX out for a spin - and if it's any consolation, Honda made its reputation on its engineering, particularly wrt engines. |

Nobody needs 400hp. I want 400hp because it's awesome.

Who gives a shit how much stuff he wants to take with him. Or how little you can get by with. The guy needs solutions here people!
With 400 HP you should be able to tow a nice little trailer full of gear. Edit: Does that Volvo use the same stupid 2.0 engine as the xc90? Because that would already be the solution if they'd put a real power-plant in the thing. I wonder if the hybrid version is any good... |

Rumor of a T8 version coming out shortly. Also, FYI, Volvo is not stocking any of the non 'cross country' or whatever the jacked up version is called in the U.S. All wagons with the set up in TD's pic have to be custom ordered.
