To the cot for the upcoming V90, to spread, send Volvo some photos around of her almost iconic wagons over the years. With to you the question which is the best.

You say Volvo, you say station wagon. It began in 1953 with the on the PV444-based Duett. This is, incidentally, not just a stationwagenvariant of the Kattenrug, where the PV444 a self-supporting body has, is the body of the Duett on a separate chassis. It is precisely for that reason used Ringborg and other hobbyists for convertible conversions, and also the PV445 in place of the PV444.

The Duett remained in production until 1969. By that time you could at Volvo not only waiting for the Amazon Combi, but was also the 145 (Intentionally) presented. The Amazon was relatively expensive and less spacious than the Duett, and both remained next to each other available. The 145 would slowly evaluate to the 240 Polar, that only after the successful introduction of the 850 in 1993, production was. And then we have not even talked about the P1800ES, the shooting brake-like sports car, which is also known as the ‘coffin of snow white.’

In 1985, Volvo with the 740 and 760-estate, starting in 1990 was gradually replaced by the 900 series. This large, angular wagons have been the design of Volvo determined, also the modern model year 850 is optically strongly related to the 900 series. When the 850 after a facelift was renamed V70, 960, even briefly as V90 through life.

And this seems to come full circle, because after the V40, V50, V60 and V70, the V90 soon his comeback. By various leaks of thumbnails and copies of the same size as the design, incidentally, has long been no surprise. Volvo keeps him still under the cap and will the car prior to the exhibition in Geneva reveal.

After this very brief summary of Volvo’s history in wagons, it is time to choose. What is the Swedish pakezel is your favorite?
