Volvo S80

The Volvo S80 is a luxury car made by Volvo and introduced in 1999 as a replacement for the aging Volvo 960 sedan. Unlike almost all other Volvo models, it does not have a wagon version. However, the slightly smaller V70 wagon was spun off its platform. The Volvo S80 was built at the Torslanda Plant (Torslandaverken) in Gothenburg, Sweden. Unlike most Volvo models, it did not have a estate / station wagon version for its first generation. Now, the third generation V70 wagon is marketed as the estate version for the second generation S80 saloon. This is a part of a major product overhaul at Volvo, including a most luxurious large estate and saloon.
