I have to laugh.

We used to call Volvos the car for people that hate cars. That was when all the granola hippies drove them, presumably to make a statement that they only drove serious, non-fun cars to make sure no one thought they enjoyed driving.

To this day, it is still a favored car among liberals. I got one as a rental a few months ago and it was the weirdest car I have driven in many years.

I remember the Volvo ads from the 70's condescendingly touting them as "the car for people who think". Problem was, in typical lib fashion, they were lured into a false sense of security thinking that because Volvos were supposedly as safe as a giant crash helmet, they could get away with driving like a**holes. Iornically, from 1961 to 1974, Volvo made one of the nicest looking sprots cars, the 1800

Like the one Roger Moore drove in the TV series The Saint. In fact Moore himself owned a couple of 1800's.

I drove one of the SC90s as a rental. Nicest car I’ve ever driven. And that thing was fast......
