Hello fellow Boreds, I would think that the price of Cwejman both new and on the secondary market would disqualify them from Volvo status.

Well, the Ikea guy does drive a high milage 90s Volvo…
I‘d give it a decent 8/10.
The materials (knobs etc) aber good quality but not super bombproof steel like a mercedes (elektron or Sequential stuff).

FWIW: There is pretty much no 240 hot-rodding scene in the US. A few T5R enthusiasts, but the comparison will probably hit differently depending on which side of the Atlantic you reside on.
From an American perspective, Korg is affordable but too exciting to be Volvo. More like VW. '90s Roland feels much more like Volvo: on the expensive side of affordable, but always playing it extra safe.

I swore I saw a Lancia on the highway here a few weeks ago but I would of had to drop down to 45 in a 65 zone to confirm.

I’d say Nord. Elektron is more Saab. And Roland is VW.

Surely the Monotron series is the Smart car?
