The whole front of the car is moulded in one piece which can be removed only by a Volvo mechanic.

"Honestly, the only time I open the bonnet on my car is when I want to fill up washer fluid," said Tatiana Butovitsch Temm.

Well Tatiana, this will be your dream car.

And for women with ponytails, there is even a split in the middle of the headrest.

OMG...... Then aren't we men entitled to a split in the....... oh, never mind.

I don't see a problem here, I think its a cool idea.

Why not have a car designed by women for women?

I'd think this would be a neat idea.

Its a rip-off. No hood, cant open it to fix things easy. Women have breasts and short skrits so that they can get men to fix their car, now they are gonna have to use cash at the dealership LOL

But seriously it does look liek a big scheme to rob a bunch of women of some cash they way its setup.

if Men can design cars the way they want them, why can't Women design cars the way they want them?

The mechanics would then contact the women directly to invite them over.

Volvo is a subsidiary of Ford

This explains it all

They can, but I'm saying is a corporiate scheme to get more women to buy their cars and a way to make more money off then in repairs and labor stuff.

oh, prolly

but if every car manufacturer had a line of cars made by women, maybe it wouldn't be that way

but yeah, if just one produced cars like that, it could well be a scheme, but again, isn't the whole idea of car manufacturers to gain a profit anyways, may be a scheme, may just be business

this is sooo stupid, unless they are aiming to sell a low amount of cars this is dumb... Honestly, who buys the cars in most households, overall the man will get more say then the woman, and giving it the "woman" persona will make men not want to buy it, or drive it more.

ReLL iZ HeLL · Post by **ReLL iZ HeLL** » Wed Mar 17, 2004 1:46 am

maybe some women have nice enough boyfriends to buy them the girly car of their dreams.. okay, the second one because they don't make the Barbie convertible in human size...

I don't think cars made by men are made for men... I've seen females drive Ferrari's and manly cars like they were men... well, they sort of are... they're dykes lol (my friends none the less)

Anyway... Volvo might win millions, or lose thousands on this one.

Hmm, maybe female R & B singers will buy it... lol

Reminds me of a Simpsons episode where homers long lost brother allows him to design a car, and it causes his business to collapse.

And for women with ponytails, there is even a split in the middle of the headrest.

"It is very uncomfortable to drive with a ponytail," said Ms Christiansen.

so true, what a good idea...

the idea of no hood though makes me mad. i do more then add washer fluid.. i know how to check other things under my hood, and i would be mad if i wasnt able to fix little things like adding oil or whatever but rather i would have to go spend money to have them rip off the front of my car.

I think its a good idea to some extent but that hood thing is pointless.
