Question: What was the Volvo S70 essentially modeled after and was the first all wheel drive Volvo?

Passages:
The Volvo 850 is a compact executive car that was produced by the Swedish manufacturer Volvo Cars from 1991 to 1996.  Designed by Jan Wilsgaard it was available in saloon and estate body styles.  The 850 was the first front-wheel drive vehicle from Volvo to be sold in North America and also the first all-wheel drive Volvo.  The range was replaced for 1997 by the Volvo S70 and Volvo V70. The Volvo 300 Series is a rear wheel drive small family car sold as both a hatchback and (later) a conventional saloon from 1976 to 1991.  It was launched in the Netherlands shortly after Volvo acquired a major stake in the passenger car division of DAF in 1973.  The series consisted of the Volvo 340 (previously 343/345) and the later Volvo 360. Volvo designed the SI6 ("short inline 6") straight-6 automobile engine for use in 2007 models.  An evolution of the company's long-used straight-5 Volvo Modular engine, which itself is an evolution of the Volvo B6304 straight six engine, the SI6 can be mounted transversely for front wheel drive or all wheel drive applications.  Despite the added cylinder and displacement, the engine remains compact, and is in fact 1 mm shorter than the previous straight-5.  The engine was initially offered in two displacements — a 3.0 L turbocharged version and a 3.2 L naturally aspirated version.  Both offered variable cam timing, though only the turbo version varies both the intake and exhaust valves.  On top of the variable cam timing used on the intake cam of the naturally aspirated engine it also had variable valve lift by using Cam Profile Switching (CPS). Tom Trana (29 November 1937, in Kristinehamn, Sweden – May 17, 1991), was a famous motor rally driver.  This Värmland sportsman was Volvo's counterpart to Saab's Erik Carlsson ("Carlsson på taket" - "Carlsson on the roof").  It has been said that he had to drive the rear-wheel drive Volvo more enthusiastically than Carlsson, with the front-wheel drive Saab. The Volvo P80 platform was a Swedish mid-size unibody automobile platform developed and produced by Volvo Cars.  It was in use from 1991 to 2005.  It is designed for different wheelbases in front-wheel drive configurations and was adapted to all wheel drive.  It debuted with the 1991 Volvo 850 and again in autumn 1996 with the Volvo 850 AWD.  Although heavily modified by TWR, the same basic chassis was used as the underpinnings for the C70.  After the model year 2000 most P80 models were replaced by their P2 successors, with the exception of the C70 convertible which remained in production until 2005.  A total of 1,360,522 cars based on this platform were built. The Volvo P2 platform is a global full-size unibody automobile platform developed and produced by Volvo.  It is designed for single wheelbases and is adaptable to front- or all wheel drive configurations.  It was developed by the automaker before its 1999 acquisition by Ford Motor Company, and debuted with the 1998 Volvo S80. The Volvo S70 was a compact executive car produced by Volvo Cars from 1996 to 2000.  The S70 was essentially a facelifted 850 saloon.  The S70 was replaced with the Volvo S60. The Volvo Halifax Assembly Plant located in Halifax, Nova Scotia was opened on 11 June 1963 by Prince Bertil.  It was the first assembly plant Volvo opened outside of Sweden and the first non-domestic auto plant in North America.  Volvo decided to open to the plant to bypass hefty North American import tariffs on foreign goods and to capitalize on the newly signed Canadian/American Auto Pact.  The plant was operated by Volvo Canada Limited (now Volvo Cars of Canada Corporation) in Toronto, Ontario and bridged the gap between Volvo of North America (Rockleigh, New Jersey), Volvo headquarters and the flagship Torslanda plant in Gothenburg. The Toyota Mark II Blit was the replacement of the Toyota Mark II Qualis, and shared a platform with the Mark II rear wheel drive sedan.  The Mark II Qualis was a rebadged (SXV20) Camry Gracia wagon, with front wheel drive.  The Blit was introduced in January 2002.  Production ended in June 2007 due to consolidation efforts.  Toyota's official Blit successor was a front wheel drive minivan, the Mark X ZiO, from September, 2007.  The Blit was a return to the Mark II platform with rear wheel drive with optional AWD and not a wagon version of the front wheel drive Camry.  The Blit used straight-6 engines with an optional turbo that was discontinued May 2006.  The engines used were the 2.0 L 1G-FE, 2.5 L 1JZ-FSE, 2.5 L 1JZ-GE, and 2.5 L turbocharged 1JZ-GTE. The Volvo 440 and 460 are versions of a small family car produced by the Swedish manufacturer Volvo between 1987 and 1996.  The 440 was introduced in 1987, whilst the 460 followed in 1989.  They were built at the NedCar factory in Born, The Netherlands.  The 440 was a five door front wheel drive hatchback and the 460 a saloon.  They shared many components with the already successful Volvo 480, including floorpan, front and rear suspension, engines, transmission and braking systems.
