10 cars in history that flopped. Surley they must all be Volvos?

Everywhere I travel in the world; there is one thing that's guaranteed to be the same The unbelievably bad driving by anyone who owns a Volvo!

If they're not driving at 20mph on a fast, long straight road, whilst riding the brakes, they're towing a caravan at even slower speeds! They pull out in front you, drive in the middle of the road, stop without reason or warning and if all this wasn't bad enough, they appear to be completely oblivious to anyone else on the road! This is the same the world over.

I've been told that subconsciously, people know they're a bad driver, so buying a Volvo is the thing to do. It's the safety aspect of the car. Volvos are far from being the safest cars though! Mercedes, BMW and even some of the French motor manufactures are now producing safer cars than Volvo. This surely renders Volvos as redundant. They are no longer the safest cars, they have never been stylish cars, they're not as well built as German cars, or as reliable as Japanese cars. So why buy one?

A stereotypical Volvo driver is a tweed adorning, beard sporting, golf playing, thick glasses wearing, caravan towing, octogenarian, retard, with all the reaction speed of an extremely slow evolutionary process! Just the sort, who should've had their driving licence taken from them years ago.

I get e-mails off Volvo drivers the world over, claiming Volvos are the best cars on the road, but I've never received one reason as to why they are the best cars on the road. This is because Volvos are reasonless. They have no point, rather much like the people who drive them! I know Volvo drivers read this, so I challenge any Volvo driver to give me a reason for owning a Volvo!
