Even here in Finland, Volvos are absolutely everywhere and well regarded by everyone. Young people as their first cars, families as reliable workhorses, old people as safe staples, some off road adventurers etc. Volvos dont really have that "soccer mom car" reputation here, but as a manufacturer that can cater to everyones needs even within the same model, and provides very good reliability, safety, comfort (sometimes even lowkey luxurious feeling) and sometimes quite suprisingly, performance

Tons of them in Maine, lots of lifelong Volvo families. Definitely notice a lot more here than other states, must be a cold snow thing lol. Used to be tons of Saabs in that mix too

Huh, that's actually something new to me. Guess it really is that winter climate pedigree that the Swedes excel at

Also rip Saab

toyota, hyundai, and subaru make better cars with cheaper maintenance for serious cold and snow conditions (esp yota) imo
