    Hello,

    The last "old-style' S40/V40 cars were produced in Born on Wednesday May
    19, 2004. In total 1.000.033 X40 cars were produced there for Volvo Cars
    since 1996. Their successors are being built in Gent, Belgium.

    It was a bit of a nostalgic moment for me, as I have been involved with
    these cars from their initial design (starting back in 1992) untill I
    retired early 2003.
    At that occasion I betted with some Volvo guys that they wouldn't reach
    the 1.000.000 milestone mark before the end of May 2004 (when the Joint
    Venture between Volvo Cars and Mitsubishi Motor Cars formally ends).

    So I lost the bet.............:cool:

    Regards,
