Also VERY safe, VERY hard to kill, comfortable, slow, boring looking, spacious, long lasting and iconic.

Our friend John took my wife and I from England to Paris France in his little Nissan wagon and we saw his daughter's 240 wagon parked on the sidewalk outside the French hospital ( whatever it was called) where Princess Di had been taken after the w140 Mercedes crash in which she perished. She (Johns daughter) had worked as a nurse in that hospital.

The wagon had a big dent in the right front door and the fender. John told us that a Porsche 911 had run a red light there in Paris, and the 911 pretty much bounced off the Volvo. They can really take a hit. But the 911 didn't do well at all though.
