Don't Forget the Wagon: 2008 Volvo V50

The Volvo S40's utilitarian sibling is the V50 wagon. Like the just-introduced 2008 S40, the V50 sees slight exterior changes and new interior enhancements.

Engine choices remain a 170-hp inline-five-cylinder for the base model and a turbocharged version in the T5 that makes 230 hp, which is 10 more hp than the engine in the previous T5 generated. 

Make sure to check the S40 post for more details on both vehicles. More photos of the V50, including a comparison between the 2007 and 2008 models, are below.

Sweden's best-selling station wagon is evolving sensibly with time. Auto parts and accessories integrated to the car including Volvo tie rods, rotors and suspension are upgraded to complement the functionality of the Volvo V50. With the sensible evolution, that will i guess Volvo expects a positive feedback from its wagon aficionados.

Bring the V50 with diesel to the states and I'm all over it.
