I have heard that the fragil plastic that decomposes is the result of Volvo's move to use recyclable plastic. In view of the fact that very little plastic actually gets recycled, even from the junkyard, building parts that have to be replaced a couple of times in the life of the car is not my idea of sound environmental design.

Volvos did not get any better during the 90s. The '98 S70 is more fragil inside than my bricks. Other than the plastic and the ABS unit, however, the S70 has been a real good car.
