RE: V70 AWD (was RE: A-4 :V-6 or 1.8 Turbo)

According to Volvo of NA (that's North America, not... Never mind), the
AWD will only be offered on the GLT model with an automatic. That's the
light pressure 190hp, flat-as-a-coffee-table torque curve engine, so
nothing to challenge the S wagons.

Oops, my mistake: there *are* no S wagons to challenge in the new car
market. AoA: Get your collective butts in gear and get those cars over
here!
