    Could Volvo be getting idea's from LR via the Ford Conection

    New Volvo 4WD and its a V8
    4.4 Litre 315HP....
    1st thought was its a P76..... but no.. New Design...

    http://www.volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.p...nter&f=3&t=8834

    Id say the Ford connection is giving the Volvo som ideas from Land Rover...

    Shame GM have no real car manufactures linked.....

    My that's ugly.

    I agree Jason.

    I was tempted to go on that new sale of the century rehash game show - until I discovered they are giving away Volvos. :roll:

    I heard about this a while ago.

    It's all just a sales push thing.

    They're doing this to appeal to the Yanks. :roll:

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Now you have done it............

    Not Australia????? and LR is????

    Ha ha.... only joking..

    Hey did you know that the Hats Automaticly lower out of the Headlining when you put the key in the Ignition.

    We should not Rubbish Volvo's... They do make a great Car.
    Might not appeal to all, but they are Great and they dont lack Grunt anymore....

    I miss my V40T4........ 160Kw Std and after it was tweeked it was close to 200Kw.... not bad for a car the size of a Mondeo.........

    OK we can all shiet can Ovlov's but remeber the Next LR might have the Volvo influence do the the Ford Connection.....

    Did you all know that GM are pushing Holden to build a Front Wheel drive Dunny Door.... imagine all the Holden boys driving a Front Wheel drive...... Nooooooooooo.

    I can imagine the fight over that one.

    Ford have plans for the next series Falcon to be a FWD as std and the XR's will be RWD.
