what is the proper name for my 850? 850-R? 850-T5?

Jun 30th, 2003, 01:16

I'm new to this, love my car and would like to know what it's complete/proper model name is. I read that some are known as 854, or t-5, etc. can somebody tell me the proper name for my model for my future reference? It's a 1994 850 turbo sedan with winter package, 16" wheels. what is 'saloon' and 'estate'? I suppopose many would considere me a dumb american! Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Todd,

the general name for the range is the 850, the last number is sometimes changed to identify how many doors you have (saloon has 4 doors so is a 854, an estate has 5 doors so is called 855). As for your actual model i would THINK that over here is would be called a T-5 (both T-5R & R's had 17" wheels) but as it's American spec i'm not to sure on the final one.

hope some of it helped

Hi Buddy,

sedan = saloon
station wagon = estate
garbage = rubbish
sidewalk = pavement
election = count all the votes
winner = guy with most votes
G Dubbya = fraud

sorry for mixing politics with cars but ...

All the best
