[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Growing up in the 1980s and 1990s, Volvos were the ultimate UMC car because only the UMCs bought them. The very rich didn't drive them, but neither did the car devotees from lower incomes yearn for Volvos. The private school carpool lane was dominated by Volvo station wagons. If you drove a Volvo in the 1980s and 1990s it was probably the car that most accurately told people you were definitely upper middle class rather rather than an aspirational person with a lease. The other contender would be the Saabs. Today people have different relationships with cars so it's not what it was like in the past. [/quote] This is so spot-on! The Saab statement. [/quote] That's right! My wealthy and cool older cousin who went to Dartmouth drove an old Saab. What happened to Saabs? I assume out of business.[/quote]
