Pedigree of the Brands - A Different View of the Story... ...Many of us own cars which come from rather famous brands. Plenty of times, even if you hate to admit it, the badge is the main reason to look at a certain car and, in the end, it's the decisive reason in actually choosing the "perfect"model. OK, there ...

Test Drive: VOLVO XC60 D5 Summum - 2008 - "New Cars Collection"
Sir May B. Bach's Opinion
I can't believe this comes from the same stable as my... ahem... supercharged Range Rover. Tell you guys what, the moment these Volvo guys start putting REAL... ahem... engines in their cars then I might consider at least looking at them. I mean, what's with that dreadful oil burner under the hood?
Only 185 hp? My platinum-plated Swarovski lawnmower has more... ahem... power than that. So what if it can brake for itself? My driver can push any pedal... ahem... any time I use my diamond encrusted whip from the back seat. And what's with all the safety... ahem... electronic nannies around this car?
If I'm clever enough to make millions by the hour then I am also clever enough to... ahem... hire my own driver, bodyguard, helicopter-based sniping coverage and an army of cyborg Kung Fu gorillas in SWAT suits to entertain any danger out of my... ahem... travel route.
I do like the LED daylight driving lights though, they... ahem... sort of remind me of my wife's custom made Louis Vuitton chinchilla eye-encrusted purse. The glittery sparkles they make when lit almost brought... ahem... tears of joy to my eyes.
The most disturbing part about this XC60 was the interior though. Why would anyone... ahem... put yellow leather on the seats of any car? I thought yellow leather was reserved only for my... ahem... bathroom toilet seats in my old chateau in the south of France. I can't say that stepping into this Volvo was a pretty sight...
Still, I wonder if those laser-based sensors in the front can be... ahem... tuned for more power. It would be nice to get rid of that bullet-proof army-spec... ahem... Hummer I have now for dispersing crowds gathered to get my autograph.

So who is Sir May B. Bach?
Sir Bach is the richest member of our team. Maybe even the richest man in the Northern hemisphere. Fact is, we don't even know how does he get the time to participate on our test drives, considering he's usually busy taking his two homosexual Great Danes to the stylist, filling up his personal squadron of gold-plated Gulfstreams or petting his own pack of albino chinchillas.
Apparently, he was knighted after he made a very generous contribution to the Queen's treasury. The exact amount of money is unknown, but immediately after this, the British GDP miraculously rose with almost 5%. He really enjoys luxury and the finer things in life.
