What was Volvo thinking with all that wax collecting plastic on the XCOUNTRY?

What was Volvo thinking with all that wax collecting plastic on the XCOUNTRY?

I like to buy a decent car and keep it looking good for a while. I currently own 2 12 year+ 240s and so I wondered into our local Volvo monopoly in Rochester, NY. The XCOUNTRY wagon caught my eye but I have to tell you that I was flabbergasted by the amount of black plastic they put around the car. It’s around each wheel and any place else they could put it. Now, if any of you have owned a 240 and have tried to keep it looking respectable, you know how darned hard it is to keep that darned black molding, the black tape on the doors, and the bumpers nice and dark. Not to mention the difficulty getting the wax off it after a good polishing. What the heck were they thinking????????????????

P.S. I was also a little disappointed at the large showy “CROSS COUNTRY” decal on the hatch. If I wanted to buy a car with a big ugly decal, I would get a Chevy with 4X4 decals.

Volvo, Volvo, Volvo. What the heck is up?
