entirely. Until now overlap crashes, which account for nearly one in four of
the front-end crashes involving serious or fatal injury to front seat
occupants, have not been tested by the government or other indepen... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 2752 | 2 I just think that volvo is a sub-luxury brand that sells for sub-luxury
price. which is good. and that is probably the reason why volvo's sales in
the US is really bad.
there is absolutely no need to glorify the brand, and "push it" to luxury,
to compare with other luxury brands. most people would choose MB,BMW,Audi
than volvo if they want to spend 50-60k on a car. but if they only have 40k
to spend, they might choose volvo, rather than VWs. if they wanna spend 20k

isn't that obvious that those buyers enthusiastically need fully electric
