Confused 200 82

posted by  someone claiming to be Rob Hanley on  Mon Dec 11 18:25 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I know that in the mid-80s' Volvo dropped the "240" and badged all 200 series cars with either DL, GL, GLT, or Turbo. But this evening I was looking at Volvo items on eBay and came across an original advertisement from 1982 for the "Volvo Turbo." The car in the ad looks like a 240, but it is referred to simply as "The Turbo." Last line says something like, "If you thought the muscle cars of the past were gone, test-drive a Volvo Turbo. It will rekindle your love with the automobile."

I guess some folks might think that I'm making something out of nothing, but I thought that it was interesting that there is no mention of "240" or "200 series turbo" anywhere. Just "The Turbo." 'Twas definitely a 200 series body....
