Volvo?? I have a very clear reason why I am not able to own Volvo. Emotionally, If I have something Swedish, and it goes south, I will inevitably think Meatball Engineering and be dissatisfied.

I have innate trust (probably overly simplistic, but I can't help it) of German engineering and when something German of mine breaks I am satisfied it was either ready to break or my fault. And let's be serious for a minute. Germans are required by law to design to Autobahn and TUV standards. Swedish standards are not the same.
