It was available in a number of variations and a multitude of engine variations throughout the years. two-door, four-door and wagons were available with only a few small cosmetic design changes in that time as well as safety features. While we are discussing safety features we all... know that Volvo was the first automaker to make extreme changes to the safety of automobiles and is still a leader in that category.
