2003 V70R and the Haldex system ?'s V70-XC70

The 2003 V70R has sparked my interest in owning a Volvo again. I love the R wagons and this new one with 300 hp and a 6sp is obviously appealing. Not to mention the fact that there is a family in my future. My Z car just isn't going to cut it any more plus this new R could spank it and I just can't stomach the thought of being beaten by a "soccer mom", I'm going to be the one that does the romping!! Anyway sorry for the rambling here is my question. It seems from what I have read here that the old system in the current v70R AWD' s is somewhat flawed or sketchy to say the least. Isn't the Haldex system what comprises of the quattro system or am I mistaken??? Is so, can't we take some piece of mind in knowing that system is already out there in thousands of cars already on the road? Being from san diego I don't necessarily "need" awd, but owning an R car does have a certain mystique to it.
