Sweet Volvo. Never heard of this car. Ever come to the states?
And a RWD one!Originally Posted by ScionDriver
Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.
my old man had a 360GLT for a while... shockingly offset pedal box but great fun coz of the RWD...
Hopefully NOT.Originally Posted by ScionDriver
One of the WORST Volvo's ever produced
Came from the DAF design/development teams after Volvo bought them up in the 70s.

terrible handling, mediocre performance and not particularly strong either mechanically or structurally.Originally Posted by henk4
Became an embarrasment for Volvo in the UK,
The 480 whilst I liked the look was NOT a very sporty car at all.
IMO they'd have done better retaining the DAF name on the range and it migh not have seemed so bad. But as a Volvo they didn't come up to the rest of the marque of the time. ( kind of like Chevrolet selling the Daewoos today, NOT a good thing form them to try to bulid brand recognition )

In terms of performance compared to the DAF/Volvo 66 it was a great improvement.Originally Posted by Matra et Alpine

Speaking of 66, do you have any hi-res pics of it, even non media? Most of Volvo media sites seem to ignore existance of it. I only have one and it's 1024x768, media photo.Originally Posted by henk4
no but I'll keep an open eye. Got a Daffodil for you if you want thatOriginally Posted by smxi

It had a large rubber band in the transmission. How about that. A reputation for an oldgitmobile in the UK. Middle-of-the-road, flat-cap-wearing eejits.
