They "WERE" Swedish... until Ford took them over and ruined the company... The last Volvo's were made around 1998, after that, Ford were having a major say in what was going into them, and cutting corners.Volvos are lovely, a local family has a red 240 Torslanda Estate......OHH YES PLEASE!! :naughty. Anyway, there Swedish:doh
Now they are just a glorified Mondeo, with a higher price. There is no such thing as Volvo reliability any more. I am on a Volvo Forum, and it is so sad to see people leaving the marque wholesale, as Ford have totally ruined it.
The only happy Volvo owners are the ones with the old cars, if they can afford to put petrol in them.
