Aaah, the GLT saloon. A true rarity here, as Volvo thought the injected GLE was more than enough for continental conservative tastes ...

My Girlfriend asked me that, and I was absolutley stumped.
Which amused her.

Gland Lux.............................................. Engine?

Grand Lux Executive

Grand Lux Touring

Executive!
of course!
Obvious now youve told me.

Looks like im getting a promotion.
If my new cars anything to go by.

In general Volvo terms...
Touring was sportier (stiffer suspension, more power in some models...like the 360), while the Executive was more luxurious. Both were highly specced, typically, but aimed in slightly different directions.

They did mk2 B19A GLE saloons? Well I'll be damned!

Good point about the GLEi saloon becoming the GLT saloon...didn't think of that.

so never 1.4/1.7, never hatchback, never carb.

... although I'm sure I've seen a GLE hatch for sale in France at one point.

Tom

I've seen that one too!

Also Antiekeradio forgets the GLE millionair edtion, with was a 1.7, only 125 were made of them.

Sorry for using GLE Ben, Oops now I said it again

SteveP, wouldn't this GLT be a nice car for you?

Hi all.
A freind of mine has a GLE parked up in his garage. It is a 2lt and it is a hatch.

The same as a non-GLT, but a bit lower, with front and rear spoilers, and a black grille.
