You brought back a memory there ... though I think the particular ad. I remember was for the 340. We have the two cars side by side ... under the Ford, "A Ford". Under the Volvo, "Affordable"

That's an interesting perspective. I've heard it said that Volvo are a car you should treat with caution second - hand not because they are bad, but because they are good! Previous owners sometimes think that they don't need fluid changes either because of the badge!
