Importing a gray market Hot Hatch ... Volvo 480?

BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Variety Show

Luxury, Sophistication, Simplicity and above all Safety… those are all adjectives you might use to describe our featured vehicle tonight. What if we told you, Volvo made a “hot-hatch” ? - A Volvo only known to a few … as the 480. And with us tonight to unpack this mystery car and how they imported it to the US are our new friends (and GTM members) Emily from GarageRiot and Nate - and filling in for Brad is special guest co-host Crutch!
