Sometimes we share clean used cars that would make solid daily drivers. And sometimes we share something that needs work but could be had cheap.

Today's 2006 Volvo XC90 is the latter case.

Volvo sold brick-shaped rear-wheel-drive station wagons in North America beginning in 1968 with the 145 and continuing through the final V90s three decades later. The 700 Series wagons showed up just about in the middle of that era, but tend to be overshadowed by their 245 predecessors today. Today we'll honor the 740 longroof by admiring one that drove past the 400k-mile mark during its career.

Today we bring you a manual-transmission wagon. Got the vapors yet? It's also Swedish. It's a 2006 Volvo V70R.

Unofficial Volvo week continues. I wanted to move on from Sweden but this 1965 Volvo 122S is too unique to pass up.

I know, I know, we've been Volvo heavy the past week or so. Sorry about that, but our forums keep filling up with cool Volvos.

Like this 2012 Volvo C30 R-Design.

Yes, we're back on the Volvo kick. There's no real reason for this beyond the fact that the forum I pull from has been Volvo-heavy recently. And well, this one's a wagon. We all know wagons are cool again.

So, hit the jump to read about this 1998 Volvo V70 GLT.

Volvo is introducing a new feature that alerts drivers of accidents reported on the road ahead. With similar services available for free on select phone apps, many of which can be integrated with your vehicle’s infotainment display, Volvo’s offering doesn’t sound incredibly novel on its face. But it’s leveraging real-time data from government-operated traffic management centers via the automobile’s proprietary user interface, technically making the feature the first of its kind within the automotive industry.

We're going back-to-back Volvo this week.

Today, it's a manual-transmission 1971 Volvo 142s.

Today we bring you a '90s Swede. Hit the jump to see this 1992 Volvo 940 GL sedan.

Today we're going north of the border to the home of our parent company to bring you this 1988 Volvo 780 Bertone.

Volvo spun off Polestar years ago, but the Chinese-owned Swedish automaker has been footing part of the bill for Polestar’s operations since then. Things are changing for Polestar, however, as Volvo will hand the brand over to parent company Geely to focus on its growth and stability.

The Volvo EX30 promises to be one of the most affordable new EVs on the market, but it’s not quite ready for primetime. Volvo recently announced that it was delaying European deliveries of the SUV to fix software issues.

Every new car has a limited top speed programmed in at the factory, but for most, it’s usually deep into triple-digit numbers that most people never see. A proposed bill in California could drastically change the way automakers limit vehicle speeds, as one state senator wants to keep vehicles traveling within 10 mph of the speed limit.

We're staying in the Nineties today with this 1997 Volvo 850 GLT Turbo wagon.

Today we bring you a small, swift Swedish hatch with a six-speed stick. This one-owner 2011 Volvo C30 R-Design is for sale for $17,000 out of Washington state.
