The 2004-2007 Volvo S60R is a modern hot sedan designed to compete with M3, AMG, S4 and other fast sedans, but it was more muted and slower than the competition. Probably safer too. Regardless, the S60R is a fun family sedan that errs on the side of luxury and usability instead of raw performance...but a cat back exhaust and chip helps turn up the zoom zoom.

Happy New Year's Eve to everyone out there in cyberspace, time for the annual "out with the old, and in with new" celebration that happens all around. I'm going to start with this old French machine, because life is too short to drive something boring. Find this 1986 Citroen CX Prestige offered for $5950 in Sunnyvale, CA via craigslist.

Okay, I've got a question for you guys: What cars most represent the new year? Something that a baby would drive? A car with a cooler for your champagne? I dunno. Comment below or send us a note to tips@dailyturismo.com
Today we are counting down the new year by featuring a few repeat offenders, cars that were for sale earlier this year, and are still for sale. The Citroen (Citroën) CX was a futuristic fastback/wagon built by the crazy Frenchmen at Citroen around the time the company was slowly succumbing to death by a thousand cuts as it was absorbed into the PSA juggernaut. This next example is about the craziest color you'll ever see on a car. Find this 1987 Citroen CX Station Wagon offered for $3,950 in Largo, FL via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
Let's prepare for the new year by rehashing a few cars that were on the pages earlier this year, but are still (surprisingly) for sale. The attitude of "it's my car, and I can do what I want" is commendable and perfectly acceptable when you are building your next/current ride. Seriously, you'll never hear me second guessing someone's choice of powertrain when they are building a 13B rotary powered Cadillac DeVille, but you might hear something when you try to sell the car to the next guy...particularly if you ask 500CID V8 in an RX-5 money for your wrong-way swap. Speaking of "the wrong way", check out this 1990 Mazda Miata MX-Z3 offered for $20,000 in Commack, NY via hemmings. Tip from Russ.
