This photo shows two older Volvo station wagons parked on opposite sides of a street in West Philadelphia. This phenomenon is not attributable to pure coincidence: Volvos tend to be favored by certain subsets of people, and if you are in a region where you see one Volvo, you are highly likely to see other Volvos as well.

You can view closeups and commentary on both of these cars: the nearer, blue car is a Volvo station wagon 850, and the farther, beige car is a Volvo station wagon 940 turbo.
