In the world of rare but beautiful station wagon news, the Volvo V-90 will make its official debut in Chicago next week. It’s the latest in a long tradition of Volvo wagons – a third of all vehicles ever sold by Volvo have been wagons! And it looks like the V-90 will uphold that tradition. Look for Volvo to emphasize safety at the launch, but to sneak in a high-performance version pretty soon. Personally, we’d like a shooting brake in the spirit of the P-1800, but a sleeper in the style of the killer 850 T-5R is more likely and just as good.
