Some interesting thoughts there so far.

OK, my 2000 V70 Classic.

1, It's silver. I think they look much better in dark colours and silver always looks dirty.
2, Colour keyed bumpers particularly in front of the boot area where it's obviously going to get chipped and scratched when you put things in - come Volvo what where you thinking?
3, The ride can be a bit harsh at slow speeds.

Generally speaking though I like it although I'll probably find something else to criticise it about if/when I have to do any major mechanical work on it. 2/7/9 series owners don't know how lucky they have it when it comes to access for the spanners.
