since y'all have started this volvo thread (i think brett started it!) , i 
might as well add to it.. what is the size of the engine used in the T5R wagon, 
the HP output, and what was the first year they were offered?  i really dont 
know much about the T5R other than seeing one or two in parking lots and 
thinking they looked pretty cool.. i've never owned a volvo before..  this is the 
model with the "kamei" style mesh grille with just the "R" in the grille, 
correct? 

you can p-mail me with the specs if you like so we dont continue the WOB..

thanks
