Well my smart aleck answer is a newer 240 wagon! If not, how about a 940 wagon? You can still pick up a newer model than what you have. It would share the same attributes that you liked about the 240: Large, easy to work on, and uses the same red block engine. But really, a 240 with 130K is not all that bad.

I do agree with your assessment of the newer Volvos; price too high and reliability too low. I don't know if you want new or used or what your price range is. If I were going to buy a non-Volvo, I would lean toward one of the Subaru wagons or a VW Passat wagon if I wanted a wagon. I like the Volkswagon Passat sedan, also. If you want simple yet dependable and reliable there is always the Toyota Camry or the Honda Accord (this suggestion will receive lots of criticism, but they really do meet these requirements even if they are plain vanilla).

Fun question, and I'll be interested in what everyone else recommends.
