Interesting. Funnily enough, I thought the rear lights on my S80 resembled a Ford of some sort! My Dad has a 57 plate V70, is that Ford based too? What about other main components like the chassis, body & gearbox on Volvo's, were they Ford too? My 2007 S80 is a 2.4d 163bhp. I've read that this is basically a 'de-tuned' D5, is this correct? It has the silver engine cover like my Dad's V70 & the engine looks practically the same.
