Intoxicatingly beautiful, but god help you if you ever need a mechanic. Yet somehow, I'd still have either. Logic defers to passion, I guess. You make the 780 sound a bit like the Citroen SM.

I love the lines and body, the V6 was a monstrousity.... with Renault getting involved making simple things much more complex. You normally have one rad hose to the water pump? That' silly, we should have 3,coming into a block that houses the t-stat that you can't buy anymore.Reminds me of a Jaguar V12. I still see a few around here. Also, I love the ad. Volvo had the best ads in the 70's and 80's-very clever. Unfortuanetly, we don;t see these greats ads anymore.
