2000 Volvo V40 Wagon Wow!! 4 Cyl Turbo L@@ks Runs Drives Gr8 I Bet You Buy This! on 2040-cars
Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States
hi and thnx. ok, ok... I do happen to like Volvos. we have had 240's, 850's, a V70 or two, and yes... I had an S80 sedan for 3 years, loved it. but, hey... this smaller version of the V70 is like a pleasant surprise !! it is 85% in size, of my old V70 1998 wagon, the same engine (less one cylinder, total 4 here) and it DOES have the cool turbo assist. guess what? this car is a winner. I like the slightly more trim size for me and my family, the economy is better and should approach 30 MPG, the turbo works like a dream and gives you bigger car oomph and great, solid performance.
you really do know, right away, that you are in a semi-premium European car with an excellent engine, great power to weight, FWD and classy lines. what is wrong with that? just because you want a great car cheap on eBay (and I want to sell), no shame to your game here ~!~ fine, tough and strong VOLVO build quality, nice package, great ride and full comfort with great features. drive safe and sound; around town or blasting down the highway on a commute or weekend romp... this car does it all in fine fashion, look great, drive smart and enjoy the ride !@!
bright and shiny paint and panels, leather, power seats, stereo, cold a/c, great heat, power locks, ABS, airbags, moon-roof, correct factory alloy wheels, 4 wheel disc brakes, low-boost turbo ( power and economy ), like new rubber, full gauges, power windows, mirrors, cruise and more. all full function and the car runs great.
but, this is an older car and not perfect. drivers seats has some split stitching (still comfy), there may be a small bump or scuff, factory mats are missing, no cargo cover that I see. please see all photos, I took all the good and bad shots I could. near ding, dent and scratch free, this svelte black wagon looks and rides fine. no rust, no damage, nothing broke or busted.
car is as shown and at my house. why not bid, buy and drive it to your home?? stop by anytime, or just call and email... happy to help ~!~

Volvo Concept Coupe is a long-legged Swedish GT [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013They may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the marque, but Volvo has a long and surprisingly lustrous lineage of coupes in its stable, from the P1800 to the 142 to the Bertone 262C to the 780 Bertone and the recently departed C70. Few of those two-doors have stood the test of time the way the voluptuous P1800 has, a fact the company's designers are apparently keenly aware of. It is that exact model that Volvo says they've drawn upon for this new Concept Coupe, and while the showcar bears little resemblance to the smaller P1800 that inspired it, both cars have a visual grace and presence that has often eluded the brand's grasp.
While not completely ripping up the design language established by the 2001 S60 in 2000, the Coupe Concept is arguably the most radical design statement we've seen from Volvo in well over a decade. Gone is the tone set by the drop-shoulder hood, and in its place is a more flowing, organic look, with the generous proportions of a grand tourer. The concept is a particularly nice piece of work, from its new T-shaped daytime running lamps to its pronounced rear fenders that subtly echo those of the P1800. Interestingly, Volvo informs that the first production model to benefit from this new aesthetic will be the next-generation XC90 crossover - and judging by the teasers we recently saw, this language looks like it'll translate nicely to the CUV's larger shape.
The Concept Coupe is powered by a through-the-road plug-in hybrid architecture composed of a twincharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder powering the front wheels and an electric motor servicing the rears. All-in, Volvo says the system is good for 400 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque.
2015 Volvo XC90 is the Swedish future
Tue, 26 Aug 2014It's been months since the Concept XC Coupe debuted at the Detroit Auto Show, Volvo's last show car previewing its all-new 2015 XC90. But the production model is finally here after years of development, and it signals the future of the Swedish automaker with its Scalable Product Architecture modular platform and cutting-edge new engine family.
The 2015 XC90 carries all-new styling, but is still familiar up front, with the company's logo slashing diagonally through its prominent, upright grille. Like the concept, it carries T-Shaped LED running lights through the headlights. The company calls them the "Thor's Hammer" design, an evocative designation that we think is fantastic. Under that new front end is a choice of two quite powerful, but very efficient powertrains. The standard XC90 gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged engine with all-wheel drive making an impressive 316 horsepower. Or if buyers want to be a little greener and more powerful, there is the XC90 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid with the same engine, albeit augmented with an electric motor to produce a staggering 400 hp.
The exterior styling is crisp, if not quite as sensual as Volvo's latest concepts, but we think the interior is the real star here, with a dashboard that looks like it came out of a Herman Miller catalog and a unique vertically oriented infotainment screen integrated into its center stack, perhaps taking a cue from Tesla. If the cabin feels as good as it looks, we think a lot of sales are going to be won inside.
Volvo celebrates 20 years since 850 wagons came to BTCC
Wed, 30 Apr 2014This year Honda Yuasa Racing brought a station wagon back to the ranks of competitors in the British Touring Car Championship (its drivers currently sit in third and fifth place in the Championship). In 1994, however, Volvo was the first team to run an estate in the series that's one of the best for delivering close racing.
Rickard Rydell and Jan Lammers drove the duo of 850 Estates prepped by Tom Walkinshaw Racing, lining up at Thruxton and proving that the rumors of a wagon in the series weren't a joke. The team used that year for development, getting the 2.0-liter, 290-horsepower, naturally aspirated five-cylinder engine ready for the next year's proper assault. The team's best finish over the 21 races was a fifth place, and they took 14th overall.
Rules changes led Volvo to switch to the 850 sedan the following year, but all the right noises had been made with the wagon. Rydell drive on to a third-place overall finish in 1995, three years later he claimed the Championship title. You'll find details and reminiscing from Rydell in the press release below, as well as the full video with scenes from the glory days.
