2004 Volvo V50 Sport Wagon

**mikeyb** · 12-08-2003, 05:07 AM

I was over on www.volvousa.com and they had a press release for the 04 V50 Sport Wagon.

I think its a really nice looking Wagon. It looks like a bady S60. How about a S50 R?

I like the 2005 version S-40 (which share patform with Mazda3) even more.

JunkPunch · 12-10-2003, 02:44 PM

That's a nice car. I'll take the T5 version with AWD please. Hmmmm.....5-cylinder turbo, all-wheel-drive? That sounds familiar to me - like my last car.

Heres another article on the V50.

Cant wait untill we get some in, Ive been dying to drive one. The older S40's BLOW!!!!
BTW the new R's I think are so overrated. S60 and V70 that is.

Looks good!

IRISH22 · 12-13-2003, 12:13 PM

I've been seeing pics of the sedan for a while now. Too bad Volvo's are out of my price range. Also heard it comes with an available 6 SPEED!

At the Northeast Auto Show Volvo had the S40 T5. What a nice car. It looks just like a baby S60 R. Big rims with low pros and aggressive bodykit and spoiler. The interior is so well put together I was thinking I was sitting in a more expensive car. I'm going to look at one when there available at the Dealer.

That is a nice looking wagon. But with only 218hp, I could have that much HP with a turbo, and still have the best looking sportwagon on the road!

You could also end up with a rod in your front seat instead of in cylinder #1. Then you'd have the best looking sportwagon in the shop!

I'm with you though, I'd still rather have the turbo in the P5.

**mikeyb** · 02-01-2004, 07:31 PM

I think the S40 and V50 are better looking then the P5. The P5 has that boyracer look compared to the Volvo S40/V50. But the Mazda3 looks and feels like a highend car like the S40/V50 does. I still love our P5!

The only thing I don't care for with the S40 is that its only available with an 5spd Geartronic Auto. Where is the 6spd? As for the turbo the S40/V50 T5 will have a turbo mounted on a 2.5L 5cyl. While the regular S40/V50 will have a 2.4L 5cyl with CVVT.

I heard that the S40 will have AWD model.
Is that right?
