If that is the case, then we're doomed! Lexus was what Mercedes build quality and durability were before the '90s. And if the otherwise well-disciplined Japanese couldn't make increasingly complicated cars that meet the legal/emissions requirements reliable, then buy whatever you want, because you're going to pay either way.

'Both brands have gone down hill'... According to the views on this site, ALL brands have gone down hill (unless you live in the USA, in which case apparently Ford are getting better)! Lexus and Volvo make excellent cars, but all cars have the potential to go wrong.

Hi, reviewer here.

Do you mean Volvo has gone down hill? I don't think so. The only model I've heard problems about is the S80. This S60 that I have bought is fantastic, and you can see how good they are for yourself, if you read the Volvo S60 reviews on here.
