Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Your statement is misleading.

From Google.

"Yes, some Volvos are made in China*, as Volvo operates several manufacturing plants there (Chengdu, Daqing, Taizhou) to serve the Chinese and Asian markets, though models for the US and Europe often come from Sweden, Belgium, or the U.S., with some Chinese-made Volvos even exported globally, but recent US-bound models tend to be produced in Europe or the US. The Chinese-owned Geely group owns Volvo, and production locations vary by model, with Chinese plants focusing on specific models like the S90 and XC60 for Asia, while Swedish and Belgian plants produce for Western markets."

I'm not in these markets nor am I looking at either of these models made in China.

I mean, they're not wrong.

Toyota builds its cars in multiple different countries, but it's still a Japanese company.
