Same here. I was kind of upset when I heard Ford bought Volvo. (Not that I have anything at all against Fords, my Dad has an F-250 that has served him well and is now a farm truck and I seriously considered an Escape.)

When my parents bought the Volvo I drove in high school, another family came in looking for one. They told us a story about how their son had just crashed theirs. He wrapped it around a telephone pole and came out of it alive and ok. They thought the Volvo saved his life and vowed to stay with the brand.

I considered getting another Volvo (yeah, I know I said I thought it was dorky in high school but I really did love that car) but found the reviews were pretty mediocre now. It's disappointing.
