Come 2007 the "newest" Volvo 240 series one can buy will be 14x years old. While it is a shame that Volvo did not continue this series it also is true that they did produce the 240 series for nearly 2x decades which is a pretty long time span. I really really wish I had bought a 240 Volvo new but I at time could not afford to. In the early 1990's which is when the 240 was discontinued it had a lot of competition particularly from the japanese. If I were to buy a new car today with gas prices being what they are I would give serious thought about the new Honda Fit. 40mpg hiway, both auto and manual shift, large cargo area for a compact, well built as its a Honda. Hopefully my two Volvo's will last another few years(thanks mainly to help from this most excellent site).
