Sport Trans. mode on 99 & 00 S70 T5's? There in 98 but gone in 99 & 00? S70

I am new to Volvo's and am interested in buying a 98 - 00 S70 T5. I noticed during my online shopping / surfing the 98's have the Econ. / Sport/ Winter Trans. switch but the 99 & 00's only have a Winter switch. Does this mean the 99 & 00's do not have a Sport mode on the auto transmissions or is the switch relocated?
I got hooked on the 850 / S70 after driving a 96 850R and loved the Sport mode for the auto trans.
Thank you.

You know, I don't have an automatic transmission in my '99 S70 T5 -- the "sport" mode is only a state of mind in my car -- but the '99 S70 sales brochure might shed some light on this issue. See page 10:

Apparently, like many Bosch ME7 controlled cars, Volvo has utilized the adaptive shifting capability of that powertrain management system.
