Split 240s from 900s from 700s?

Post by matthew1 »

Do you think the RWD Volvo users of my site (YOU) are better served if I split this forum category into three distinct forum categories, or leave it?

Vote and/or leave a post in this thread. Each reason is valid, whatever it is. I'd love to hear from you.


thanks
Matt

I'm going to spit out a resounding no. The redblocks are very similar between b21/23 and the b230/4 platform. In the case of the whiteblocks, they're enough different that they deserve separation, but a 740 is basically a 240 with a granny suspension redesign and electricals that weren't designed by a drunk Swedish man in the 1960s. A 900 is a 700 with a facelift.

Matt,

I totally agree with Adrian.

In some of my posts I have been able to refer members with 240s to posts relating to 740s/940s and vice versa. If they were split some points may be missed.
