Proper Volvos are rear wheel drive - discuss

Hi All
I know a couple of us have other volvos in our fleets. As I am replacing the 480 back box its been sat on the drive and I've been using the Volvo 940 turbo for work.
And I noticed how relaxed it is to drive, having a large turbo engine to pull you along and other cars don't try and race you.
And the best thing (other than drifting the backend round corners!) is the overdrive button insted of a fifth gear. just press the button for overtaking, turbo starts to boost and the 940 battlecruiser goes to warp!
Pity the fuel comsumption is so poor 28Mpg as opposed to 43Mpg of the 480.
A change is as good as a holiday I suppose.
regards
Mark
