My brother's point was that it felt less substantial than he expected. (When I drove the V40, I thought it felt like the new 99 Passat I test-drove earlier that day, except it had better seats.) In either case, we're talking about a car with very little 'character,' the intangible 'right stuff' that nobody can define but we all know it when we experience it. There's a world of difference between the Swede-born 850/70 and the Mitsubishi S/V40. One's a Volvo.
