After driving the 2007 SAAB 9-7x up to almost 40,000 miles, it seemed like a good idea to pick a new demo vehicle. I’ve driven most of the Mercedes brand and all of the Volvos. So, I looked for something big enough to hold my family, something fun to drive, and something different than usual. Without further ado, allow me to introduce to you my new demo, the 2005 Audi A8L 4.2. More details to come but read this review for a good overview of the A8.

We finally sold our last 2009 Volvo C30. The fact that it was brilliant blue may have had something to do with it lasting so long. But whatever the reason, it was sold last week to a happy customer at a very good price. Now we have the already released 2011 Volvo C30 R-Design to show off. Is this cool or what? I’m really liking the new headlights, but am still “learning” the flat hood look. In any case, it is an aggressive update which I think will help the car sell quickly … even in Orange Flame or Flamenco Red!

Have you demo’d any wagons? Jim has always liked the Audi wagon for a “family car.” I like the Volvo wagons, too. Unfortunately, they are all out of our price range!
I took home a 98 Audi wagon one Wednesday for hauling teens. It was one of those small AWD wagons with a backward facing rear seat. That was the “cool” factor but Jefferson found it to be very uncomfortable. He seems to have forgotten the pain as he really likes this Audi.
But I’m more with you, Laura. The Volvo wagons are top notch. Audi is more of a bling car with lots of doo-dads. I’d rather have the versatility and comfort of the Volvo. But then again, a minivan holds more than a wagon, so the SUV would be a better choice for most families.
