The name seems to fit, but where does the term "BRICK", refering to Volvos come from?

    Nate's got most of it. There's been a debate on this subject, even on swedishbricks.com and other places. Usually it's a subject for the OPINIONS forum.

    (1) They look like bricks - sorta rules out all but RWD models.
    (2) They ride like bricks. American opinion of the firm European ride.
    (3) They'll last as long as a brick. As Nate said, hit something, see who wins.

    Regards,

    Bob
