Having very impure thoughts about moving on from our 240 200 1993

Thanks for suggesting the V70.

I have been thinking recently that my 1987 745 is getting long in the tooth, and my wife and her 1992 245 are really not suited to each other, and that even "modern" 940s (a possible replacement for the 700) are by now 15+ years old.

Where to turn? What IS out there that is robust, pulls a trailer well, carries lots on a roof rack, is sensibly made, has excellent seats, etc. and is NOT some silly oversized SUV?

I guess I could pay attention to the V70s.

Dope slap. I DID, when my young adult daughters have just talked of going to Sweden, and I looked into overseas delivery: no V70s listed on Borton web site... just the yuppie XC70, if I remember right.

Aw, what would I do with a new car anyway? Just make it look used real fast. :-(
