I think the next year was the year they came out with that Ford Taurus world platform.

Of that I've never heard. Volvo never used any Ford technology. On
the contrary, Ford copied the Volvo platform and tried to make Ford
cars that would match the well known Volvo reputation. And failed miserably.

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.
