just came back from a Tokyo holiday and yung JDM cars are very well equipped.

The JD models are packed, its the local ones, particularly those for ASEAN markets that are cut down.

i am curious,

It should be the other way around "Volvo is Geely", if indeed Volvo is bought by Geely.

Haha, naisipan ko lang doc why they didn't use this term "Volvo is Geely".
Geely is Volvo daw kasi Volvo is bought and now owned by Geely.
So expect that their cars now inherited Volvo's quality daw as per Sales Agents ng Geely.

Geely owns Volvo so there's a little technology transfer there... they codeveloped a CMA that's currently being used by Volvo and some Geely cars.... none of the cars that are available here in the [emoji1198] though. As far as I've read the Geely Tugella and the Monjaro uses Volvos CMA. the cars here in the Phil. are pure Chinese tech..

Volvo's quality isnt highly regarded locally. Its probably the least popular among the more mainstream luxury brands (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus)

in my opinion,
it's not the cars.
it's the maintenance folks,
if not the owners themselves.

my feeling is,
these cars need a little more TLC than the japanese cars.
