 Sadly Volvo is about to destroy their entire brand by shutting down combustion engine production and producing only electric cars. RIP Volvo's reputation as reliable, heavy duty vehicles. 
 They started going down hill after ford bought them in the late 90s imo. Last I checked the chinese bought them? 
 So I've heard. Such a shame. The five cylinder Volvo engine is cool. 
 I learned to drive on one, surprisingly quick for a big whale of a car (it was the 5cyl turbo version). I always wanted to test drive one of those tiny c30s with that engine. 
 Sadly, neither one of us is going to get that opportunity. It's crappy electric engines and five minute "walkable" cities with infinity niggers from now on.
