About China's Coolest Cars
Here’s a Volvo 940, seen in Beijing in the cold winter of 2014. The classic Swedish sedan stood in a small compound, in front of a red Honda Civic. There had been a lot of snow earlier that week, so every car on the road looked dirty. Snow was always gray in Beijing, never totally white. Nowadays, snow is rare in the Chinese capital.

A very pretty yet very dusty Volvo 960 sedan, seen at a small car repair shop in north Beijing in 2016. The good Volvo was dirty and dusty with partially deflated tires, but overall in a fine shape.
