Re: I never knew they cared....
A pretty comprehensive list, however that side profile of the 262c is extremely flattering, making it look like an 70's/80's reimagination of a p1800 coupe.
Alas, a much more awkward, slab sided shape in reality. For your viewing... pleasure(?): https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1248219

Re: I never knew they cared....
My list would be:
1 - Volvo 240
2 - Volvo 850 T5-R
3 - Volvo 262C
4 - Volvo 780 Bertone
5 - Volvo 480
6 - Volvo 940
7 - Volvo C70 (1st gen)
8 - Volvo Amazon
9 - Volvo PV 544
10 - Volvo V70 (1st gen)
The only Volvo which I actively dislike is the 1st gen S80. Looked like a bloated version of the much better looking S60 and I've never been a fan of its pug nose front end. Apologies to those on here who own/have owned one

Especially ironic when you recall that when the C30 came out Clarkson, in his then guise as a Top Gear presenter, described the 480 as "awful"...

When you create a "top 9" of something, kind of implies they gave up finding 10
Why is that stock image of a Cream Yellow T-5R on 16" GLT blade wheels? That should be on 17" Titans
