If anyone is a member of yougov it’s worth reading what they say about Volvo owners and the demographic yougov assign - Volvo owners are the most right wing consumers of any vehicle manufacturer ~88% of owners. So makes sense Farage is a Volvo Driver.

OMG, if he is representative of Volvo owners, perhaps I should consider a Jag!

Steering waaay off-topic, but I think Volvo's buyers' demographics of today has much changed. Volvos have become luxurious, even bourgeois. Volvos were trusty, rugged, inexpensive, unpretentious, maybe even a bit ugly. In today's world- I'd say Subaru is the new Volvo
