As a Swede, and still a car consious one to that [in this auto-
mobile hostile country], I wouldn't be cought dead in one of the 
Volvo boxes, or "sossecontainer" [SocialistsContainer] as we 
cordially call them... Ever since the boxy shape first surfaced.
I would guess that You're not going to get any sedan with only 
two doors... 
Not with Volvo marketing the "Volvo" C70 coupe and convertibles 
(manufactured by AUTONOVA in Uddevalla - a company owned mainly 
by TWR of Britain. So they're nearly a pair of lbc's! Costing 
like LBC's!!!)
A pair of cars not even near the old saying about Volvos; 
built like a tank, feels like a tank  - and costs like a tank! 
This time they cost more than a tank (of the same weight class) 
- if one can find such a tank... 

Anyways, You can find some material on the C70's on these URL's:

Good luck! And thank's for buying genuine Swedish steel. ;-)
