Volvo 700 Series has had a peer review by Wikipedia editors which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article. |
Obviously the 900 series was mechaniscally similar, and the articles on the 940 and 960 were small so I boldly merged them. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 13:15, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
Could the title of this page be changed to reflect that it does include both the 700/900 models?? - Peter
Dude, I found the article easy to read when I last read it a few months ago. Unless it has been screwed by some people subsequently, I can't see why it is confusing to any readers. 72.93.31.83 17:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 745 crashworthiness
Are we sure about those claims on the 745's crashworthiness? (opening paragraphs). The reference links deal with the integrity of the A-pillar, and they seem to be more a discussion on the dangers of a crumple zone car colliding with a more rigid car. Even then, those references aren't good enough to support even that claim.
A look at one reference book I have mentions nothing about this problem with the 745.

Its a pretty confusing article, some of the jargon needs to be linked and it needs a thorough copyedit. Full dates need linking, the images need captions and it needs references. What the 940/960/S90/V90 headings doing here? If they're a replacement for some of the 700 series surely they should be in the 900 series article? GA Failed for now.
