Personally, I sneer at Toyota drivers here ;-) Not really an issue, Pierre.  Although it’s mostly Saabs here, there are many people employed by Volvo Aero as well, whose plant is right next door to Saab.  Not related to the cars division, I know, but it softens the blow a bit, I guess.

A question about the way Volvo owners are viewed in Trollhattan: I would think every non-Swedish car would be a neutral choice, but in a city so dedicated to Saab, are Volvos and their owners looked at with disdain or resentment? It would sort of be like living in Melbourne and sporting Geelong Cats swag, as if to prove you weren't on board with the home town team. Just wonder how the Trollhattanites view that, or perhaps they are too polite to take issue with it. Thanks again for a peek into life in Trollhattan.

We have had two local ones in my area of Massachusetts.  I heard the police have put a stop to one of them this summer due to traffic congestion so the other one is going to be huge. Mostly Detroit iron and hot rods but my Sonett always draws a lot of interest. Nice cars and looks like a great setting.  I love cruise nights.
