Arashi1987 manufactured in China? Was considering buying either one of them (Inscription) and spoke to one of the saleman and he slipped "XC60 are all made in China" ... instead of Sweden if I'm not mistaken.
Arashi1987 VolvoMike;c-158273 wroteVIN starting with YV1 is European built. Anything else is not so just ask for that. is European built necessarily better than other country (China) built?
Ex850R The location doesn't make any difference to a vehicle, its all made to a stamdard. Look Hyundai outperforms everything in USA for quality in the past.
VolvoMike The last recalls were all from the Chinese built cars. Volvo have invested heavily into the manufacturing and assembly plant in China and the cars should be as good as from Volvo Sweden. Some people won't want Chinese built cars however, so having the knowledge of which cars are from where will help people decide.
