- Yes, but judging from what I know concerning the conditions over here in Scandinavia, I find it rather unlikely that Volvo drivers would outdo Toyota drivers in the area of safety.
Swedish Volvo drivers represent a mean of Swedish car owners.
Most are, hardly surprising, ordinary people who use their cars for driving to and from work, leaving their kids at a kindergarten/school in the morning, picking them up in the afternoon and then going shopping at IKEA:).
Many Volvo owners in my country are “squares”. Most Swedish Toyota drivers are too.
However, at least in Sweden there is somewhat of a difference between these two groups. Swedish Toyota drivers seldom are salesmen and other such (stressed up) people who usually drive along Swedish freeways at high speeds trying to make a living.
Most Swedish Toyotas are driven below speeds of 60 mph or so. Therefor, they get involved in few severe accidents.
Although I believe Toyotas to be fairly safe cars, I am very, very convinced SAABs, Audis, Mercedes’s, BMW's and Volvos to be safer vehicles.

That is true.
