Get the This All New Volvo XC90 Sure is Impressive mug.
A compoundly rounded, stylish somewhat Seussian Swedemobile. The "style" name for the Volvo 122 series, a mid-century car built when Sweden's roads were mostly unpaved. Tough, yet economical. Many daily drivers all over the globe. Other Volvo-lingo crossover, the Amazon can be a "Redblock", but is too round to be a "Brick." It was the first car to come with 3-point seatbelts. Many surviving examples on the US west Coast, especially Portland and Seattle. Driven in the US by folksingers, professors, artistic odd birds and off-gridders who also brew beer and ferment things. Driven in Europe and the rest of the world like a tough long-lasting car of economical size and disposition.

Something that is relatively new but low quality and is falling apart. Derived from recent Volvos (starting around 2012) that had low quality interior parts that would peel and fall apart, especially the soft-touch black plastic which would peel after just a couple years. This term can be used to describe anything that is in poor condition, not just a car.
Wow, this desk from ikea sure is junk, it's doing the Volvo peel already and it's just a few years old.

We're turning an old Volvo into a goat at Eunice's party tonight. I hear that Bob and Mortimer are participating.

Used to be a very safe and reliable car. Then, Volvo Passenger Vehicles we’re split from Volvo Heavy Machinery, sold to Ford, and then Ford flipped them to the CCP. Now both Volvo PV and Volvo HM are total shit. Stay away from them!
