Do you guys remember when I brought up that stuff about the 850 series car having a low coeifficient of drag? Well I found that article I read and I hope he means coeifficient of drag when he says .32cd

But when you park an 850 and a 940/60 side by side, even though the Swedish Stolid family looks are there, there isn't a single piece of sheet metal shared. Looks are more than skin deep--the 850 has a mere .32cd. And there's something about the way the Turbo wagon looks...

Well, in my family we have both a 960 and an 850.

I think they do look fairly similar, yet distinct. The hoods are similar, doors, and sides are similar, but the bakc end of the 850 is fairly short...
