I know it's subjective, but I think the 240 was one of the best looking of all Volvos. Somehow the designers managed to get the proportions just right, so the car has a sense of movement even when it's stationary I'm told that the curve/sweep of the wheel arches is important too, and you can see why by simply comparing with, for example, the 940. And of all the 240s the Tors is the most elegant of all, I think. I don't know if it's the 'go-faster' stripes, the roof bars, or the imposing black trim, but really I think it's a the combnation of all that, coupled to a the basic superb aesthetic design, which gives the model the edge.
I'm not sure if it was you, Paul, but someone on this site used the phrase 'kinetic sculpture', and that sums it up nicely.
(Oh, and the wheels are nice too, but a nightmare to clean!)
