talk about clueless... he JUST figured that out?? where has this guy been his whole life? women are hard to please, =P

The result: A car that's designed to be nearly maintenance free, requiring an oil change only every 31,000 miles. When it's time for an engine inspection, the car sends a wireless message to a local service center, which notifies the driver.

The vehicle doesn't have a hood — the whole front end lift ups for easy access by a mechanic, since the designers didn't envision doing much engine work themselves. You fill up the tank using a roller-ball valve opening, like many race cars have, because it's simpler and less messy than removing a gas cap.
did volvo really have to spend 3.5 million dollars to figure this stuff out??? shoulda paid ME $3.5 million and i could've told them everything! =P

Yeah... as long as it has everything you want and requires absolutely no maintenance, it's perfect.
Come to think if it, I guess women like their cars like they like their men...

Dream on partner... There is no more "customer" in the auto sales industry today it's "custom-her".
I think the women at volvo forgot a few things... it doesn't drive itself, it doesn't have an empathy setting to play random phrases of agrement as the woman complains and bitches about whatever, and the sensors to assist with parking don't actually find the spot first.

Wahahaha, I love that!
I wouldn't want a car like that. It's like the automobile equivalent of Microsoft Windows. Shitloads of idiot-proofing that probably gets annoying after a while and dear lord, can you imagine if something went wrong with it, what would you do!?
Hah... why does everything marketed toward women seem to remind me of everything I hate about the ones I know...
