The naturally aspirated models are the same with respect to power and transmission ratio, etc. The 700 accelerates similarly to the 240. I'm sure there is some minute difference, but all in all it is basically the same powertrain.

The 740 is such a great car, it's hard to find anything bad to say about it. Ditto for the 940, in fact, even more so. If you can stretch to a 91 and up 940, you'd be loving it. But the 740 is fundamentally the same car with a few exceptions.

There are weaknesses in any car, but the 740 is like a 240 durability-wise, but with a better ride. And more interior space.
