Although it was never sold in the US, Volvo had originally intended to bring it over.  By the time Volvo completed getting the car US-certified, the dollar sunk against the Dutch Guilder (400 series Volvos were built in the Netherlands) and the plans for US exports were scrapped.



It's like a precursor to the C30.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

She'll hate diesel passenger cars, all things Ford, and fiat currency.  They will masturbate to old interviews of Ayn Rand an youtube together.

Exactly.  And the precursor to the 480 was the 1800ES.

Nope. We only got the 900 series and the 200 series. Then later the 800 series.


We got the 7xx and 9xx at the same time from 1991-1992, then they killed the 7xx.  The 9xx was in the US until 1998 in the form of the S/V90.  The 240 was also produced until 1993, which is the year that they brought over the 850.  My 850 is a 1994.

Peugeot literally sold over one million of those cars.

EDIT: 6.8 million.

SUCK ON THAT, CONSUMER REPORTS!
