That's what I would want to drive. I think the Volvo trucks look gorgeous, and I like the interiors. Beyond that I don't know anything about them.

Yeah, there's not many good pictures online but the interior does look great and the fact that it is very aerodynamic really makes me like it even more.

Nice truck, steers like a dream, looks pretty good, smaller sleeper inside but nice and wide....

But damn they have some issues. The Volvo engines are gutless when scaled out way heavy and pray something doesn't break on them. I sat for a week getting a injector replaced.

And the seats are completely awesome.
