Volvo plastics are even worse than 80/90's Mercedes. With my two 780's I've owned, plastic parts would crack by just looking at it, with Mercedes you know just not to touch it and it will be fine...

Post Crumbly Plastics

Yes more or less ;

I was more thinking of the fuel injection harness' that die quickly in Volvos and were N.L.A. before the cars were ten years old .

Of course, had someone made a non alt right comment they'd be crucified .
