The only reason I thought it may be a turbo is because they call it (probably wrongly) a Sport. The Sportwagen 850 was a turbo. Neil. In the US, the Sportswagon 850 was whatever car the dealer decided to glue the badge onto that day. My first 96 NA 850 wagon came with one of those silly badges. It ...
