Volvo is a Swedish luxury automobile manufacturer founded in 1927 in Sweden. It is currently owned by American Ford Motor Company.
Older models were often compared to tractors, partially because Volvo AB was and still is a manufacturer of heavy equipment. Considered by some to be slow and heavy, they earned the distinction "brick" as term of endearment for the classic, block-shaped Volvo, with the more powerful turbo charged variants known as "turbobricks".
More recent models have moved away from the boxy styles favored in the 1970s and 1980s and Volvo has built a reputation for sporting performance.
Owners are often proud of achieving high mileage totals, with one well documented 1966 Volvo P1800S having been driven over 2.6 million miles. According to some figures the average age of a Volvo being discarded is second only to Mercedes at 19.8 years. Reliability is considered better than average and in the USA Volvo dealers are listed by Forbes as one of the best among all car makers (9th) and luxury car makers (6th).
