    I actually can't believe he is arguing the fact. They are the same car , Volvo will never admit that the S60 is the saloon version of the V70 because on realise Volvo said there wasn't going to be a saloon V70 (S70) but they did do it (S60) I don't know what's not to get there. I don't know for sure but I would almost guarantee the V70 shares more S60 parts than it does with the S80. Was the V90 a different car from the 960......? The badge maybe was that's it.

    I'm not commenting on this thread anymore because my 100% disagreement with him in his eyes will be construed as cyber bullying. I'm getting wound up by this stupid thread now. I Wouldn't want to be accused of that now would I!!

    S60's and V70's similarly spec'd are still for different purposes therefore eye of the beholder and all that.

    Would I swap my S60R for a V70R, no I wouldn't but thats personal preference.

    Both are inferior to my VW Passat anyway! (In terms on fuel ecomony )

    Nope... S80 shares more parts although not by much. Mechanically, the S80 and v70 are very similar, hence the Haynes covering both models and a separate manual existing for the S60.

    My Little German has heated electric seats which also have electric side bolsters and electric lumbar support. Bi xenon headlights, auto dimming rear mirror, auto fold passenger mirror glass when reversing. Auto on headlights and wipers, widescreen sat nav, Harmon Kardon stereo with subs and full iPod control, electric rear blind, soft nappa leather, 19" wheels and an illuminated gear knob.

    Steve, this should help us get to 10 pages of dribble

    Why do you need an illuminated knob? Are they that small

    It's about time we put this thread to rest. What started as an interesting thread with a genuine question, has turned into a playground farce - some members should just grow up.
