    i've driven too many internationals and I find them to be okay. better then freightliners but for me to say if I like the lonestar I'd have to see the interior. I don't mind the outside looks but international has lousy fit n finish on the interior. even the better interiors

    Google "Volvo VT880 Testomonials" and you will find a lot like that truck for its power, good on fuel and roomy cab. The Vt880 is okay, but VT830 looks better. Nice euro styling.

    Heres something I do not understand. How come the the VN730 and VT830 share the same styling and the VN630 doesn't? Sure theres a difference in 1ft and 4in but wouldn't it look cool? Also, the 730 and 830 aren't as popular as the 880 or the 670.

    I have driven others but I like my Star. Wood cabinets, no plastic, no rattles and lot of room with a good ride.

    King your volvo love affair and your sig line just don't match up. :biggrin_25512:



    Those making the claims of power and MPGs are not lining up with the members of Trucker's Report have to say about them. :biggrin_25512: :biggrin_25512: :biggrin_25512: :biggrin_25512:

    I like Petes espeicaly the 386 and Kenworth T8. However, I am a sucker for the VT830. Nice powerful mid roof, but I'll take a 386 or 379 w/ 70 ultra.
