The link to the information would have been enough. ;)

Thank You for the Spam...:rolleyes:

I didn't see any production numbers. Useless info.

Tough crowd :rolleyes:

As per posted comments:

1. I have highlighted the exported amount sent to North America in red.
   
2. Show me on this forum where the data was duplicated (spammed)
   
3. Normally I would have used a URL but web forums come and go. I felt this information would be helpful for any new owner.

I'm looking forward to read constructive replies ;)

Tinted windows? Neither of my cars have tinted windows.

My bad...:o Usually post like this are some spammer just coping out of wikipedia... LOL

Good info though

Sorry for mistaking you for spam..:p

Yea, the croud is tough here sometimes.

As for production numbers, yes sites come and go, which could include this one. :eek: If you or anyone else googles "Volvo t5r", they will likely find that posted info all day long. The best source for that info is the actual Volvo site. It has good info about "Thor". The Wiki page is actually more informational than the info above when it comes to production numbers. I guess I just don't like the title because good info to me would be like this:

The USA received 914 of the 2,000 T-5R's that were sold in 1995.
Of the 914 cars, 185 of them were yellow.
Of the 185 yellow's, 35 were wagons and 150 were sedans.
Of the balance, there were 5 to 10 special order GREEN wagons shipped to the US.
The rest of the 914 (729), they were black. 504 Sedans and 250 wagons.

Now for the fun part. There are likely approximately 33 yellow wagons still in the US.
There are approximately 97 yellow sedans.
There are approximately 47 black wagons.
No idea of the number of black sedans, likely around 230.

As for the features and equipment the cars had when produced, has nothing to do with production numbers and that is 98% of the information posted in the thread. :confused:

That leaves me out :p
