Default John Cadogan and the XC60

For non-Ozs:
(i) John Cadogan is an Australian motoring journalist, renowned for acerbic commentary. You may not agree with him, but he's always funny.
(ii) Wheels is Australia's biggest-selling car magazine. It has an annual Car of the Year award. This year's winner was the new Volvo XC60. John had something to say on the matter:

John has always recommended to Ozs that they NEVER buy a Volvo, mainly on the basis that the Company has a tiny (and apparently shrinking) share of the Australian market, and that the dealer network is both sparse and not very good. He also doesn't like Wheels much!

Think of it as light entertainment, as opposed to critical appraisal. You will find Cadogan even more critical of others (such as bull***t Benz). He does seem to have a soft spot for the V40:
