Actually, it was 2007, the 3rd generation. The Ford Galaxy, S-Max,
Mondeo and Land Rover Freelander all used the same platform and shared
aroud half of the parts with each other.

Volvos have gotten too expensive, I should have gotten an XC70 in 2004
and taken a trip to the factory to pick it up. I have family in Lund
and Copenhagen I could have visited in the process.
