    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 #### 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.

    I drove one new Volvo daycab back in '98 and it rode great for such a short wheelbase. The interior is nice and the seem to have the controls laid oout a little better than most. I wish my '06 Pete had the dash set a little closer to me. They are a nice truck, but I would never own one. You have to tear half the truck apart just to get to the motor so you can run the overhead (but thats any aero styled truck. Since I do almost all my own maintenace and will be doing it all pretty soon, access to the truck and motor are a big factor to me.
