owner change can be a lot
I heard from a garage technician friend that new volvo have lots of small problems. Some do. http://www.carreview.com/Midsize/Compact/Volvo/PRD_53406_1531_1272652crx.aspx#reviews
Ownership change means a lot. Ever seen new managers changing the company culture and product quality ? There could be a new mgmt style, a new strategy. People outside don't know. I just couldn't put the same trust before I have some solid evidence.
Good luck with new Volvo, and let us know how it goes.
