Wait what. As someone who has loved Volvo I could use more context


Volvo cars (not AB Volvo, the trucks, boats, and excavators maker) was sold to Ford and then to Chinese Geely. A lot of modern Volvo cars are therefore designed and engineered elsewhere to various degrees. Some are even wholly designed and produced in China. Others are not. I’ve heard this new one is more on the Swedish side. Even the motor is supposedly made here, at-least for the once produced in Gothenburg.


Interesting. I caught some heat on here the other day for suggesting western consumers would likely be averse to Chinese made vehicles, but the sentiment in this thread seems to only reinforce that.
