in "Max Power- Beast from east" video there's a skyline GT-R with the same kind of paint, unbelivable!! I did see two volvos with these paintschemes. the one featured above and a 900series wagon with 19"s all over... very nice! I get breathless every time I see those paintschemes...

Disneyland used that color-changing paint on its new Autopia cars when they re-did it about a year ago. There's an orange- and a purple-based version. They both have like four different colors in each.

That stuff costs almost a grand per gallon. I hope they use thin coats!:flash:

thaa.......is it true that the 850 Volvo is a popular car in your country?.
After doing so well in the BTCC, i thought they might take off in you country as the primera has in others.

due to the fact that volvo is swedish (well, it was before ford came in) their cars are and will always be the most popular car here (BMW is advancing thou). but the 850, or the s70, is indeed a very popular car... s80 is coming very strong, and now with the s60, more volvos are out there than ever...

It's not! It may cost more than a Porsche, but it's not *worth* more than a Porsche!

Timmy C.

are you talkin to me??

let's see price of car (accord EX V6) + mods (including paint job and security system) = value of car

$26,000 + $25,000 = $51,000 U.S. dollar

Porsche Boxster price = $43,000

so it is worth more than a porsche boxster... in the amount of money he spent on the car
