I know this is a little off topic, but did anyone see the new John Travolta movie "From Paris with Love"? It has a car chase thru the streets of Paris with what looks to be a 850 Wagon!

Way cool......I didn't think my car could maneuver like that....

I havent seen that yet, but this may be an 850, if not its a v70. But this is screen shot taken from Mission Impossible 3, when Tom Cruise goes to 7-11 to 'get some ice'. The awesome thing is, its the same color as mine! Can anyone tell if its a v70 or an 850?

looks like there are amber in the rear corner/brake lights, that would make it an 850, correct me if I'm wrong

I saw it. The car is a green 850 NA with a 5 speed manual. Goes to show you how fast the 850 can go.

Oh, and the movie was kick @$$.

Its not an 850, I just watch the scene in stop motion and it has tail lights all the way up the rear trim.....850 does not have rear lights all the way to the roof....V70 maybe?

What? 850s and V70s have the exact same tail lights. Only difference is that 850s has amber tint in the turns.

It's an 850, you can tell by the turn signals in the front. Very easy to say that it is an 850.
