Why Volvo don't sell these cars to interested parties is beyond me!! I wish I could get this car and run over all the boffins at FORD who make silly marketing decisions and replace them with far more sensible ones!!

I've seen underbonnet pictures of the Evolve S40, and one of the main reasons it could never really be made a commercial release is that the exhaust manifold has to run over the cam cover (and spark plug cover) to the only place they could put a decent sized turbo! In other words you have to remove the exhaust manifold to change the spark plugs.

On a 240 there is enough space to fit a truck turbo without compromising access to the engine. They never released the 240 Turbo here either...grumble grumble.

Conservatism with their model releases - be it 'Lame R' syndrome, or total non-release (hot 360, 240 Turbo, 780) is not a new problem in the UK...

cheers

James
