The 2017 Volvo S90

While Volvo Cars is now owned by Chinese company Geely, the design aesthetic has remained distinctly Scandinavian; and perhaps more than ever before.  The new S90 sedan is a study in Swedish restraint, with its clean classic lines, pale wood interior details, leather seats and onboard sustainability and state of the art safety systems, the S90 is the new Volvo icon for the 21st century.  In addition to this and the recently redesigned XC90, we can expect up to 7 more models beginning in 2017.

Nissan Heritage

Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. has launched an amazing website chronicling its illustrious 95-year history with stories, milestones, reference data and photography.  The various decades show clearly the evolution of the modern Japanese motorcar beginning officially in 1933 where Jidosha Seizo Co., Ltd., predecessor of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., was established in Yokohama with paid-in capital of ¥10,000,000.  Head over and see early versions of the GT-R, Fairlady Z as well as domestic (Japan) passenger vehicles and electric cars as well.  With all the beautiful images and history to pore over, its definitely NSFW.
