Volvo Limits Top Speeds To 112 MPH - Does THIS Announcement END Your Consideration Of Buying A Volvo EVER AGAIN?

Volvo said on Monday it will limit the top speed on all its new cars to 180 kph (112 mph) starting in 2020, which is the same year the Swedish automaker wants there to be zero people killed or seriously injured in any of its new models.

The change will be implemented globally starting in the second quarter of next year on vehicles planned for the 2021 model year.

Volvo is taking the bold step because its researchers have identified speed as a prominent gap it needs to close to reach its safety target.

Another example of individual responsibility and accountability being overruled by the powers to be (legislation, regulation, companies, etc) claiming to doing whats right but making life drab, more confining, joyless with less zest.

I'm cool with that. I wouldn't drive 112mph anyway. The fastest I ever driven was once following someone on the turnpike supposed to be going to Chicago and I'm trying to catch up at 90mph. Luckily the state trooper let me off with a warning. I had to use my phone for navigation after that. I havent touched 90mph since.

LOL. It's a Volvo, not a Polestar. 112mph should be more than sufficient to get them kiddos to soccer practice.

Volvo's target audience is Buick, but the morons from Geely think we will pay Mercedes prices for Geelys styled as Volvos.
