From the Archive: Five 1999 European wagons compared:
The Volvo V70 has been around for just a couple of years, but its boxy body gives away this car's age—its design is an update of the 850, which was introduced nearly eight years ago. Its genes may be older, but that doesn't mean the V70 can't put up a good fight. That's particularly true if it comes in racy, all-wheel-drive "R" form, like our test car—the most expensive V70 Volvo offers.
This is the hot-dog of the group, if you couldn't already tell by its electric-blue paint job, its rocker panel skirts, and its big chrome exhaust pipe. The R's thrust comes from the most powerful five-cylinder Volvo makes—a turbocharged 2.3-liter DOHC unit good for 246 horsepower. It's an engine with character, constantly whooping and hissing with every change in boost pressure and singing a dual-note song.
