#1 of 216 Volvo V50 by revka Feb 13, 2002 (1:58 pm)
Here is the new place to discuss the Volvo V50. To start, here's some news quoted directly from Edmunds Future Cars section:   Volvo has BMW and Audi in its sights with their upcoming V50 wagon, a replacement for the current V40. Engine choices will consist of either a 170-horsepower normally aspirated five-cylinder, or a 200 hp turbocharged version of the same engine.   What do you think?   Revka Host Hatchbacks & Station Wagons Boards

Looks like a baby V70. I own a V70 so I am not saying I dislike the look of it, but Volvo could have been a little more original with the design. Perhaps they are following Audi in the "every car needs to look the same" realm. It will be interesting to see how this car stacks up to the A4 and 3 series estates. Knowing the acclaim of these cars, let's hope Volvo came loaded for bear. Replies to this message: jobypanackal (May 19, 2006 10:32 am)

I hope this V50 isn't based on a Ford platform.
#4 of 216 Good Start... by bill_1 Feb 15, 2002 (7:38 am)
I think it definitely has alot of potential but I wouldn't buy one unless I can get it with a manual gearbox. : )

#7 of 216 2003 V50 Availability by art_ny Aug 23, 2002 (5:37 am)
Called Volvo America and customer service said that the V50 is years away. Not in the 2003 lineup. Anybody else hear any different?
#8 of 216 2003 V50 Availability by volvomax Sep 26, 2002 (1:34 pm)
That car will not be available until the 2004. The current V40 will be built for the 2003 model year. The first examples are already at the dealers now.
#9 of 216 More 2004 V50 information by revka Dec 04, 2002 (5:23 am)
From Edmunds' Future Vehicles Section: 2004 Volvo V50 Luxury Wagon. Hope you enjoy!     Thanks for your comments!   Revka Hatchbacks & Wagons Host
#10 of 216 V50 coming too late! by aldehyde Dec 04, 2002 (2:49 pm)
From all indications the V50 (and XC50 AWD body-cladded version) will be based on the same platform as the next Ford Focus and Mazda3 (formerly Protege), and so won't appear 'till about the same time those models are available... coming to the party so late it will have to offer some sort of added value, maybe the XC90's roll-sensing system, but expect that to drive the price out of the reach of the masses. Too bad these models aren't available now... guess I'll have to "settle" for a Subaru
