I think there's a sabb with an even wider one, but cannot find it. I saw
it in a garage many decades ago.

 Oh, the 900. I've seen a few of those. Saabs always were a minority brand
in the US. I liked the old ones, but there were some really strange beasts
like the Sonnet II. I don't know why there was a Volvo on every block
while Saabs were driven by middle-aged lesbians.

Volvo used to be synonymous with safety and they were built to last forever. It was their reputation and it was very much the reality. Once Ford bought the company though, everything went downhill. Now the Chinese own them and I can't help but notice that they're at the bottom in the reliability index.

This is the truth! It is also what you would expect in a socialist country like sweden. Slowly, year by year, companies get acquired, since they cannot be run profitably with the enormous regulations and taxes that sweden imposes.
Add to that, that the EU tries its best to sabotage sweden as well by denying the proposed Renault Volvo merger and has blocked sweden from selling snus in the EU since time immemorial. Few countries have lost so much as sweden by being in the EU. Fortunately they don't have the euro, but the politicians are trying hard to force it on the people. For instance, they have already aligned the physical shape and color of the currency in preparation for at some future point in time, forcing the euro on the people.
