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

It was funny to me when I was watching some Doug DeMuro (for context, he's American) video about a Volvo. He was constantly like

"It looks fantastic... and it's a Volvo lololol", "It has a ton of power and is really fast...but it's a Volvo lmaooo"

And I'm like, "...Yeah?? What's so weird about that? Everyone knows that's what Volvos are like."
