I did not know that, thanks for the correction. Every day is a school day! I figured that the 500cc drop was done by losing a pot and it was the same 5 pot 2.5 whiteblock in the 850/V70.

Any ideas as to why the 2.5 models were made/what market they were aimed at? It seems like a lot of effort to re-engineer the six cylinder engine with smaller bores, longer rods and shorter stroke when the 3.0 came first and the 2.5 produces 30hp less and seems to return similar fuel figures.
