only mention of iron block was in the specs page (which sounds pretty bog standard US spec T5 to me):
ENGINE TYPE Turbocharged I-5, iron block/aluminum head
VALVETRAIN DOHC, 4 valves/cyl
DISPLACEMENT 153.8 cu in/2521 cc
COMPRESSION RATIO 9.0:1
POWER (SAE NET) 250 hp @ 5500 rpm
TORQUE (SAE NET) 266 lb-ft @ 1800 rpm
or maybe it is just "Misconception No.5: All Volvos have iron blocks" (to go along with the theme of the rest of the article)...
I think we mostly get better information from sites like this than the standard print media nowadays (even if they republish online)...
