In this episode, Brendan and Ian begin a series of "deep dive" conversations, where they pick an automaker and discuss it at length. To start things off, let's talk VOLVO!
Tune in as they talk about:
- What they think of when they picture an old Volvo
- Volvo's safety innovations that continue to this day
- Volvo's longevity as a brand (and in quality)
- The R performance models from Volvo and why they are so special
- Volvo of today and where they think the brand will be in the future
- Their favorite Volvos
Plus, will Volvo ever bring back a stick-shift? Brendan and Ian make a case for it in Life Plus Volvo!
