I own two Volvos and I can tell you that with the new insanely complicated engines no mechanic will touch the car. You will be stuck servicing it at Volvo dealership at lawyers hou…

Indeed it was a very ... unbalanced piece from someone who has only visited Russia once in two decades (by his own admission). Basically a self-proclaimed "serial entrepreneur" who…
