One of the best posts on the subject that I have seen.

"...not feasible to redesign the 240 in such a way that it could offer everything the 850 and other later models offer"

That's the bottom line as I see it. The car is pretty much the ultimate refinement of a 40+ year old design. But, times change...sadly.
