What do you think of this? *PIC*
Well everyone knowst that I've been waiting for the 06 SI, well after having an interesting conversation with my Wife last night (more kids), I came to the conclusion that if we decide to have more kids that I may need a bigger car.
So after looking around I ran into the Volvo S40, 218 Hp Turbo Charged Sedan! What do you think?

Rep Power: 277 A friend of mine has one, they are really nice but seem kinda cheaply made to me. The only thing i dont like is that its built alot like a ford focus, same platform and everything. If your looking at that you might want to look at Saab too. The 9-3 is the same platform as the WRX only alot more refined and less rally car. Plus the 9-3 Aero is 32k but looks 10X better and has 250hp. Either way, nice cars.

I kinda wanna stay in the mid to low twenties, but Ill defenately look into it.
that volvo is pure sex! But lets be honest....you dont want this for a "family car". You want this for yourself and your using the whole sedan approach to your benefit...........i love it. pure genius.

Thanks for the info, I will be considering the Saab also.
