For the best sales staff, that's all they need to make you a Volvo owner
You ain't lying. IMO they're crushing the Germans on all fronts... Especially design. Exterior and interior are the finest in the biz right now.
While I totally agree with you, I don't think these ex-German car owners will be pleased long-term with the pedestrian handling and snoozefest driving dynamics.
Dont' get me wrong I also love Volvo's interior (except the electronic wizardry) and exterior on these Scandinavian/Chinese machines, but I don't think that's enough to keep the Germans away for long.
Then again, when you consider most who buy higher end vehicles these days are not interested in performance, it's seems like we as consumers have changed what we value in a machine. Electronics and connectivity with our smartphones seems to take precedence over performance.
I suppose only time will tell
