Maybe volvo figured if they continued to build these bricks, people wouldn't really need to buy a new volvo for a very long time. Maintenance with the 240's are reasonable, as well as parts, considering there's a few million tanking along. So to try and boost new car sales they made crappy front wheel drive cars that seem to break down and give you more trouble than the old simple reliable bricks. Makes the volvo shops happy too. Just a thought... also i've been thinking cars are designed to break, its a conspiracy! Look at the repair/parts/new car markets: Huge!, if cars didn't last then all those shops would be outta business. But i'm driving like a jackass in my 240 fighting the system.

Yeah okay, so maybe there is no conspiracy.
