I don't think I am being unfair wrt QUALITY. If you are going to pay the kind of money Volvo is asking for their product, then you should expect and get it.
I also owned a 740, and yes... you guessed it, the dashboard cracked.
The problems are not just restricted to poor quality plastics, the electronic components seem to fail more. I only speak for myself but since I have owned a 740, an 850 and now a S70, the S70 has been the absolute worst! The radio, the headlight switch, the light bulb failures, the door lock failures, the electric window master control failed (started smoking!) the climate control module failed. Yes, Volvos are safe, but look-out Volvo, every other manufacturer is on the safety bandwagon.
