Volvos are for people who can't drive and have to rely on Volvo's

I saw a similar view of Volvos in an Australian group. It's odd that
"safety" is equated with lack of driving ability, although it is true
that Americans think SUVs are safe despite the lack of roadfeel and
maneuverability.

My 240 is agile enough, and my old 140 doesn't go fast enough for it to
matter.
