The year after they stopped selling the B8444S option.

After about 90-95

'98 but there is leftovers of their spirit even today.

There's several points you could find:
>The year they stopped making RWD cars
>The year they stopped making the V8
>The year they stopped making the turbo 5 cylinder
>The year they stopped making the C30

Also, the year they bought DAF.

Well they're still racing these beauties.
It'll be a sad day.

>trash

2013. Every car had some redeeming feature until then. Now everything is shitty modern car design except the XC90 but it's bad because it only has a 4-cylinder.

vagina car
urban "suv"s are for women and small dicks

S90 and V90 look good as well.
However, those FWD 4cyls are really disappointing - although the T8 is reasonably good. I wonder how it's handle the S90, the XC90 T8 was a bit heavy.

When T# badge stopped meaning you had a turbo engine with whatever number of cylinders the badge indicated
T5 meant 5 cylinders and a turbo
T6 meant 6 cylinders and a turbo

now T5, T6, T8 are all trim levels
The T8s have 4 bangers now, its a fucking shame

'98 or so. Cars built till the end of that year have 500k miles in them, easy. The build quality took a dive after that.

But muh 850T-5/R

my 02 is fine. only thing that broke was a coil pack. 120k miles
2.4t

The death of the T5 was a complete betrayal

When it became chinese.
Be volvo, put the same fucking 4 cylinder engine inn all cars. Call it t5, t6 because of ecu tuned hp levels. Why not just buy the cheapest option and tune the fuck out of it?

round about this time

The new XC90 uses both turbo and supercharger in the T6 and T8

>S40
Looks like shit
>S40 Classic
Wow, what a looker.
I can't tell what they changed but the different rims and whatnot changed the look of the car tremendously.

Chinese has nothing to do with it. The company is as Swedish as ever. It's just bankrolled by the Chinese.

>1st gen XC90
for a 50000€ "luxury" car this thing surely lacks some quality

but I hear most of the 1999-2004 Volvo cars are to avoid

haven't driven a later one myself

The latest ones are awesome. Dynamically, they're turds, but they're comfy as fuck to be in - and the T8 is no slouch.

>called a T6/8
>dont use a turbocharged I/V6 or a V8
>Uses a Twincharged I4

Call it a fucking TS4 then, dont fucking get me exited for nothing
>but user, there is no way a V8 would fit there
Volvo used to offer the S80 with a V8 in the same platform with the same engine bay as the same year C30, dont come with excuse that the B8444S could not fit in the new XC90 T8

I work at a Volvo dealership, theres plenty room for a V8, I completely agree with you, they should start making big and good engines again.

t. Poorfag defensive about not being able to afford a car made this century.

You just described 90% of Veeky Forums

Why do you think they call all new cars "pigfat" or "shitty modern design"

It's because they can't afford them.

Literally sour grapes

Except 120k is normal. Lots of cars will reach 200-250k on their original drivetrain, without major repairs. Old Volvos are completely capable of reaching reaching 500,000 miles without significant repairs or replacements. And that just disappeared after '98

i fully expect it to.
i just changed the tranny oil.
car is running superb

I still enjoy them, I just hope we get more than a 4 cylinder eventually. The s60 polestar seems good and I find the triplet turbo 4 interesting, but can we get a i5 or i/v6 in something?

Why doesn't Volvo just put a T6 in everything?

This, 95 is the cutoff
That being said the 850 is still a good car

1987

1927
