I suppose my judgement is coloured by my dad having had 4 or 5 consecutive Volvos during the 1970s. All 140s or 240s. He saw them as ever so slightly austerity cars having "only" 4 cylinders and 2.0 litre-ish engines when he had long chosen 3.0 litre 6s and larger. The fuel crisis of the early 70s caused him and a lot of others to look at cars which were more fuel efficient. He liked the Volvos though.
