I think I had read somewhere that the 2004 S40 shares a chassis with other vehicles. Possibly Ford Focus or other brands. Is this correct?
2004 S40 Question from a Newbie

The 2005 s40, not 2004. Sometimes it is called the 2004.5. The 2004 is the old platform that shares with Mitsubishi. The 2005 shares a chassis with the Mazda 3 and new European Ford Focus, but Volvo tunes it and much of the car feels Volvo like. It uses Volvos 5 cylinder engines, 4 grades of different type of steels, Volvo SIPS, and other Volvo features unique to Volvo.
