245= 2 series, 4-cylinder engine, 5 doors (wagon)
745= 7 series, 4-cylinder engine, 5 doors
244= 2 series, 4-cylinder engine, 4 doors
242= 2 series, 4-cylinder engine, 2 doors

All this specific naming got thrown out off the model badge on the back in 1980, but it remains in reference with Volvo and us diehard fans.

Naturally, they had to screw with the naming convention in the 80's too, as the 760 could've been had with a 4-cylinder turbo and the 780 didn't have a V8 stock. :(
