  Re: Lego Volvo
 
(...) Hmmm. Looks like a moral conundrum for you, Dave! One one hand, Honda chooses to "create" a car in clone bricks (good), but the car is an SUV (baaad). Volvo chooses LEGO (not clone), but also doesn't choose an SUV (good). Just walking a mile (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland.california, FTX)
 
  Re: Lego Volvo
 
(...) Whoa--I'm so conflicted. Of course, the Honda was made of virtual bricks, so it's more eco-friendly than the ABS Volvo. Gosh gosh gosh, I can't decide. (...) Hey, get out of my boots! Dave! (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, FTX)

  Re: Lego Volvo
 
(...) Thanks for pointing this out. Moral conundrums aside, it is very cool. I was amused by the comment in the article: "although not drivable" as if that's a surprise to them.
