It is reliable and family friendly, comfortable size, no spectacular character but also no big downs.

Volvos slobber all over you?

Boxy but good?

Not as good as Jaguars though!

No weird electrical glitches in those dogs...

Both Volvos and golden retrievers are prone to suspension issues.

However, Volvos are indestructible, and all good boys come to an end. My golden was almost 8 when lymphoma took him.

I say all good boys live forever in our hearts. I know all my previous dogs do. <3

Did they invent the seatbelt?

As a Swede I feel a bit offended.

Guys, just be happy that we don't send your Volvo in a flat pack, ok?

They are equating Volvo to the best and most loyal dog. Not an insult. I drive one that was made in Gothenburg. I do enjoy it.

Ok. We've whitelisted you now.

That is not a tailgate, and that's not a cargo space. Someone call a veterinarian.

Inversely, Volvo is the Golden Retriever of cars.
