    On the same note what does the V40 and V90 have in common with the V70, probably as little as the V50!

    If you choose one with a Volvo engine in it they are surprisingly little Ford, if you choose one with a Ford engine in then they become more of a Ford, however old shape S40/V40 could have the same argument depending on the engines but at least the new ones you can get a 5cyl unit.

    What was the V90 actually based on? I know they made an S90 very briefly but where they 940 or 960 based? Only ever seen one V90.

    At the end of the day, the new S40 and V50 are totally different cars to the rest of the range. Different engines etc, in fact different everything! So they will have their own set of technical issues too. The new C70 falls into the same group too, so definately worth a subsection I reckon.
