850 replaced by S series? 850

I am still shopping for a used Volvo but I have started considering something newer than the 700-900s. I have been looking at the 850s, I am under the impression that the 850 was rebadged as an S- series in it's later years. Is this true? Was there an S- series that was the same powertrain as the 850? I am just wondering how much of my 850 research applies to the newer S series machines.
Thank you for all the help now and prior,
Dan

s/v 70 = facelifted 850

The S70 is to the 850 what the 940 is to the 740. All the basics remain the same, but the S70 and 940 are substantially more refined.

1997 was the year that Volvo went Japanese when introducing
the S70. A sad day for me
