volvo's of yore were built for safety. they wanted the owners to survive accidents with as many parts still working as possible.

to accomplish this single goal they had to have superior design backed up with higher quality manufacturing to implement this vision.

i think fuel economy and bland performance was secondary to the idea that volvo drivers should survive crashes.

in complex vehicle manufacturing invariably a safer design and durability amount to facets of the same coin.
