    I'm sure Volvo will appreciate their official model numbering system being regarded as slang

    i was going to say that. its not slang at all.

    its allways been the way, at volvo we refer to them all with a specific code


    854 = 850 4 door saloon
    855 = 850 estate
    874 = S70
    875 = V70 classic shape
    872 = C70 Coupe
    873 = C70 Convertable
    285 = New shape V70 (p2)
    184 = S80
    364 = S60
    295 = XC70
    275 = XC90
    644 = S40 (old)
    645 = V40
    544 = New S40
    545 = V50

    these are the official volvo model codes, as inputed into VIPS when ordering software for example.

    lmao, though i suppose thats the exception to the rule of the number of doors. its more of a way to identify between the coupe and the cab, though no harm in climbing in and out over the door if your that nimble
