The new lineup:
Biggest: XC90 - coming November 2002, an SUV
Bigger: S80, introduced 1998
Big: V70 and V70XC. Introduced 2001. Based on S80 platform (more or less)
Midsize: S60, introduce 2001 (S60; replaces S70 / 850)
Small: S40, V40 introduced US 1999

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
==========================
From 1993-1997
240, 4 cyl RWD (rear-wheel drive)
850, 5 cyl FWD (later became S,V or C70 in 1998)
940, 4 cyl RWD larger; 960 6 cyl (became S or V90 in 1998)
