Volvo is Chinese, and China is known for IP theft

China gonna China

I’m trying to think of a good comparison to this, and I think I have one. This would be like if back in the day, Car and Driver bought a copy of Cars magazine, and then re-printed pictures from it in their own magazine.

Olds should have called this the Trofeo Partecipazione.

The fact that these Corvette people are whining about their Corvettes being delayed either live in a bulletproof bubble or are seriously lacking situational awareness. Look around you! 2020 is a hellpit of sadness and uncertainty. Millions are in serious danger of getting evicted. This is not the time to throw a fit…

Maybe you can get management to sign off on it as a story expense like with the Changli, if not then it’s GoFundMe time! Working on an American badged Italian motored Austrian built minivan unicorn in the Midwest, story has a lot of potential.

I reckon shipping it stateside would cost a bit too much.

What will you do with it? I'm betting it will end up here in the U.S. just so you can brag about having a manual diesel minivan in the driveway, you have all that space now.

I believe you’re remembering the MS Estonia in the Baltic Sea.

I’ll pass on calling dibs. Few things are more humiliating than being underwater on a Hyundai.
