Analysts question whether Abdelilah Benkirane’s recognizable personal brand can lead a genuine comeback or if the party’s revival requires more than his leadership.

Volvo Wheel Loader and Classic Wagons Appear in Listings — Sep 11, 2026Volvo’s current lineup and collectors’ market highlight a mix of practicality and performance: the L150H wheel loader under the H-series is designed for durable, productive material handling in demanding sites, while the 2025 V90 Cross Country offers a high-end, car-like wagon with mild-hybrid power and rugged styling for those seeking wagon versatility over SUVs; the 1995 Volvo 850 T-5R, though rare and heavily modified to a manual, remains highly sought after with ongoing strong valuation and detailed maintenance history.
