   Happy 50th birthday to the most reliable car ever made; the Volvo 240. Produced for 19 years, outliving its successor, and only ended production due to increasing emissions standards. It will forever be my favorite platform due to its simplicity, practicality, reliability, and classic looks. Volvo made a luxury car that was meant to be driven and passed down generations, and I am grateful that I learned how to drive and repair vehicles with one. This car is truly a testament to engineering.

     @creamqueen @sysrq i doubt b3 passat has solid axles, there are macpherson struts in the front and a semi-independent rear, i'm also not pretty good with translating terms back and forth between russian and english, i don't seem to get to do it too often

     @PurpCat @creamqueen @sysrq eh same engines, i'd say even same like platforms just the body shape was different, its not like they did anything too different until like the oil crisis when they suddenly realized why people import european econoboxes

     @lina @creamqueen @sysrq instead it's a game on if the engine or transmission blows first because of the underpowered combo while vidrelated buys it

     @lina @PurpCat @sysrq hyundai is bringing that back, especially with their n line. Affordable yet practical cars that you can have fun with. Veloster Ns look like so much fun

     @lina @PurpCat @sysrq its a start, I hope we can get some rwd cars that are under $35k and fun to drive while also being practical and decent on fuel. A little 2.0 turbo rwd sedan would be sick. (Bring back wagons though)
