It came in last because it is an aged design. The S70's design got to be 10 years old (started as the 850 which debuted in 1991 according to Volvo). The replacement is due out supposedly near the end of this year. Still, despite it's age, it was much faster than any of the other cars in the Car and Driver comparison as I recall. It's also roomier than most all competitors but it lacks the refinement of the newer 9-5 or the E320. -rdo russell.ollienopsamnet <r600nopsamejanews.com> wrote in message news:7ajrrq$jqj$1nopsam1.dejanews.com... >In article <7abs5t$kil$1nopsamy.cc.emory.edu>, > lparkernopsamy.edu (Lloyd R.
