That must of been Volvo's thinking as well when they designed and QC'd the turn signals on these cars. Why provide turn signals that work when only half the consumers will use them. The marketing group must of had the final say in the design of the turn signals. If consumers use them half the time therefore instruct the engineers to develop a system that only works half the time as well. Maybe Volvo is dumbing down the cars to the US market if I read Yannis's post correctly.
