Marginally???
The 3-litre is virtually unknown in this country except in a few specially-imported collector cars, never having been sold here (Canada, remember?) The 2.6 is only slightly better known, but there were only a handful sold, mostly in Land Rovers (I've owned some). The B30 is far more numerous, and I've owned a couple of those also. We had a Volvo plant in this town for 35 years. The B30 is more reliable, more powerful, and you can actually buy parts for them. And I like them. A lot.
