Bruce,
I own a 96 960 with all the options, same as the S90 and I love it. I would not trade this car in for a different one. I have driven an 850 and an S70. I think the logic of the RWD is better because you keep it simple. Rear wheels pushing the car and front wheels turning. I also have an S80 T-6 and when going into turn and giving the car gas i often lose traction and my tires really spin thus affecting my steering capabilities. It has recently rained here and I have taken my S80 out only to turn around after two blocks as it was loosing traction really bad. I have the same tires on both. The 90 Series has high maintenence where as the 8 series has lower maintenece. With he 9 series There is no torque steer during harsh excelerations.
I know that on this board you will find people who complain about the problems with the 9 series cars but if you post in the FWD forum you will also find complaints witht that model car. When you buy a volvo be prepaired to pay for the maintainence for the lovely car as it is not cheap. I think that you should test drive them both. The 5 cyl engine in the GLT will be harshs sounding and the 6 cyl engine will be smoother. The turbo is not that much better becuase after about 5 years of abuse it will need to be replaced. Make sure that the car you buy has the alingment on center. If you have any other questions please post back.
