Volvos used to have a cult like following because they were durable and reliable. And their turbo models were easily modified to become very fun performers. But these days I think that cult-like following is very much diminished and maybe what’s taken Volvo’s place is the Subaru.
I don’t know, are Volvos still designed and engineered in Sweden and just put together in China?
Actually after Ford bought them in 99 I’m not sure who/where was the engineering and design. Ford did a fire sale to the Chinese for $5 billion less than they paid in 99.
