Huge understatement. When the new small-overlap test came out the RAV4 flunked the test. For years afterwards, Toyota cheated the test to make the car pass, despite it still being "Poor."

If you watch the XC60 or XC90 crash test videos and compare them to other manufacturers small overlap, the Volvos push themselves away laterally from the wall as they contact it, but maintain as much forward momentum as possible. This reduces how quickly passengers would experience a change from high speed to stopped. Volvo also protected both driver and passenger sides.

2,500 Americans die each year in small overlap crashes. Volvo identified this problem long before the IIHS did, which is why the old XC90, first built in 2002, passed with flying colors in 2013, as all Volvos did. And it's 2018, and there are still Toyotas doing abysmally on this crash test.

Saw this one tonight. Liked it from a distance but up close the black wheels don't really work with the inscription. If this was a white R-design it would look brilliant. What does everyone think?

I agree. I'm not sure if it's the angle of the picture, but those wheels don't quite match the look of the vehicle. Perhaps if they blacked out the chrome bits on the sides and the bumper it would match better.

Spotted George @ Viva this morning making a ‘questionable’ left turn in front of Culver City Volvo. Car has a great stance with those wheels!

Such beauty!

This SPA2016 XC90 was Volvo's best design I tell you.

In many colors, this car looks great. Your wife's against the colourful background is stunning

The red looks very sporty 👍. I wish I could see more of those in the wild 😎.

That bursting blue plays well with the ambient colors you captured
