The new lineup:

all of the above are Front wheel drive (some are all-wheel drive). None are "better," but designed to provide a range of sizes and styles. From 1994-1997, the 850 was a one-size-fits-all FWD Volvo in the US. (Europe had the 440, unavailable here.)

style: S=sedan, V=versatilty (wagon), C=coupe (2-door), XC=Cross Country
size: 40=smallest, 90=largest
