When did a Volvo become a status car?

[Anonymous]

We aren't rich and don't care about cars but have a Volvo because their E-Vehicles are of very high quality.

Begone troll. No one said any of these things. It’s another Chinese knockoff living past its glory days.

Volvos then were low key “luxury” for Old Money types.

I used to see a lot more of them than I do now. Maybe people are skeptical of the quality?

My Volvo was made in Sweden. You seem uninformed and make generalizations based on domicile of corporate ownership.

What does the location of manufacture have to do with anything beyond who’s employed to work at the factory?

Go look at what’s happening with chinas belt and road initiatives in Africa. It’s an extension of the same scam into different industries. Dictatorships don’t care about ethics and high standards.

What are you on about? What does that have to do with a Volvo? Volvos aren’t made in Africa or China. They’re made in Sweden. Now pipe down.

They're around, they just blend in because they're so boring and dated. They don't seem to update their exteriors much.

When they changed the lights in the front

Volvo is for people with better things to do with their lives then worry about if it's "higher status" than a Mercedes. Mercedes is for insecure social climbers desperate to "make it".

Volvo is owned by a Chinese company and thereby the Chinese government. Try to connect the dots.

NP.
We need to decrease our dependence on China, where possible.

Back to original topic: no, Volvo is not a status car. But the fact that China owns it, makes it even more undesirable!

Reasons to start reducing Chinese imports:
* Theft of Intellectual / Copy Rights
* Repression of citizens
* Fear of Arbitrary Arrest
* No Religious Freedom
* No Freedom of Expression
* Slave Labor, Gulag
* Threats to Other Country's Autonomy
* Severe Restrictions in Tibet
