Did I just buy an SUV?

I didn't mean to. I am an environmentalist. Really. But before I knew it, there it was, in front of my house.

    excuses, excuses, excuses . . .

    Volvo stopped putting 3rd row seats in their station wagon in 08 so as to push up the sales of their SUV the XC90. By doing this the only volvo model to have a third row seat is the SUV. You could have easily bought any used volvo with a third row seat, they in no way difficult to find. Furthermore, volvo has the built in booster seat and this would have come in handy given you haul your kid's friends around.

    you sold out, pal. By the way, I have a bunch of bikes and two kids - though the dog died.
